| This page is about the German fighter Bf 109 G-10. For other uses, see Bf 109 (Family). |
Description
The Bf 109 G-10 is a rank IV German fighter
with a battle rating of 5.7 (AB/RB) and 5.3 (SB). This fighter has been in the game since the start of the Open Beta Test prior to Update 1.29.
Not very different from the Bf 109 F's and other Bf 109 G's , the G-10 can only be identified by paint scheme. Unfortunately the other camouflage (I./JG 27 ) can be mistaken for a Bf 109 G-6, but can be differed from a Bf-109 K-4. The G-10 does not have a retractable landing gear in the rear while the K-4 does (the Bf 109 K-4 is the only model to have retractable rear landing gear).

Survivability and armour
- 60 mm Bulletproof glass in front and rear of the cockpit
- 4-8 mm Steel plates on the pilot seat
- 10 mm Steel plates around pilot's head
- 21 mm Steel plate on the rear of the fuel tank, with 4 mm plates surrounding it on other sides
Armaments
Offensive armament
The Bf 109 G-10 is armed with:
- A choice between a 20 mm MG 151 or a 30 mm MK 108:
- 1 x 20 mm MG 151 cannon (200 rpg = 200 total)
- 1 x 30 mm MK 108 cannon (65 rpg = 65 total)
- 2 x 13 mm MG 131 machine guns (300 rpg = 600 total)
The two machine guns are in the upper part of the fuselage just in front of the cockpit. The 20 or 30 mm cannon is mounted to fire through the propeller shaft and out the propeller hub.
Suspended armament
The Bf 109 G-10 can be outfitted with external ordinance such as:
- Without load
- 1 x 250 kg SC250JA bomb
- 2 x 30 mm MK 108 cannon, wing-mounted (35 rpg = 70 total)
- 2 x 20 mm MG 151 cannon, wing-mounted (135 rpg = 270 total)
Usage in the battles
The Bf 109 G-10 is a 109 that does not change very much. It fits in between the: Bf 109 G-14 and K-4. One of the best tactics is to use your decent climb rate to get above most of the enemy team. This could be American fighters, however, Spitfires will most likely outclimb you. The best tactic to attack enemies below is to Boom and Zoom, if they turn, pull up immediately as you could risk getting shot. Another good tactic would be to fly over an enemy and bait them to climb up. When they do this fly away to gain some distance and do a large circle around them. It is crucial you keep your distance as you will die if you're too close. After a couple of seconds, the enemy aircraft will stall, take this opportunity to kill him. It is important to avoid using this manoeuver with spitfires as they will climb right up to you and obliterate you before they stall. If a Spitfire is above you and tries to Boom and Zoom you, do a split S to avoid him, if he follows pull back the throttle and wait for his zoom climb to stab him in the back, but it will most likely rip the wings or enter a G-force induced loss of consciousness (G-LOC).

- It is recommended to go for the performance upgrades as they will benefit you more than if you chose the weaponry options, gunpods should not be put on the Bf 109 G-10 as they hinder the performance during energy fighting.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Excellent acceleration
- Excellent climb rate, even stock
- Can WEP for 5 minutes non-stop until it reaches ~100°C (212°F)
- WEP fuel load is close to the engine fuel load
- Engine cools down very quickly at 0% throttle
- Good dive characteristics
- High terminal speeds during a dive possible (~850 kph TAS)
- Great dive acceleration
- Can out-dive almost any aircraft in its tier
- Can pull High-G manoeuvres
- Armament is interchangeable between a heavy 30 mm Mk 108 and a lighter 20 mm Mg 151 with more ammunition
Cons:
- Poorly sustained turn radius.
- Tends to be out-climbed/outrun by post-war aircraft.
- Ammunition can run out really quickly for the Mk 108's.
- Flight performance drastically decreases with under-wing gondola pods.
- Requires skill to play efficiently.
- Can face F8F Bearcats and Griffon Spitfires, which can be superior in certain situations.
History
The Bf 109 G-10 was a variant of the already successful Bf 109 series. The G-10 was the combination of a Bf 109 G airframe with a DB605 D-2 Engine, the aircraft was built in the factories of Erla, WNF, and Messerschmit Regensburg. Even though being called a G-10, the aircraft was in production after the G-14, the sole purpose was to produce a fighter better than the G-14 until the K-4 could take its place.
In-game description
"The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was a single-seat monoplane fighter used by the Luftwaffe before and during WWII. It was used as a fighter, interceptor, high-altitude interceptor, fighter-bomber and reconnaissance aircraft.
By early Spring 1944, the Bf 109 G-10 variant had replaced the Bf 109 G-6 in mass-production, being powered by the DB 605D engine with an improved supercharger. Without external pylons, and powered by the DB 605DC, the G-10 was the fastest Bf-109G variant, with a weight of 3,100 kg and top speeds of 550 km/h at sea level and 680 km/h at 7,400 m. It could reach 6,000 m in 5.8 minutes.
Unfortunately, the Bf 109 G-10 would usually reach the front line with factory-installed Ruestsatz armament kits. For example, the Bf 109 G-10/R1 had an ETC fuselage bomb rack for one 250-kg or 4 x 50-kg bombs, a bomb selector switch and a 5mm armor plating under the oil tank.

Variants
- G-10 (Light fighter with DB605DM or DB/DC engine)
- G-10/R2 (Reconnaissance fighter)
- G-10/R6 (Bad-weather fighter with PKS 12 autopilot)
- G-10/U4 (As G-10 but with 30 mm/1.18 in MK 108 Motorkanone engine cannon)
