There’s definitely value in adding more of the late war 109 variants for Germany.
The Bf109G-14/AS is already in game for Italy, so I see no reason it should not be immediately included for Germany. It would be a good candidate for a tier IV premium aircraft at 5.3. We have the Fw190D-13 which I have and love using, but for those of us who prefer the 109 it would be nice to have a premium option.
The G-10/AS is not a correct designation per my understanding, but certainly we should have different models for G-10 built by Erla, WNF and MTT.
Interestingly new research by Lynn Ritger who is writing a new book on the Bf-109 appears to have uncovered the most conclusive evidence available that the K-6 was indeed more than just a paper design and flew as a prototype. Therefore, I would suggest that it is viable for addition to War Thunder as a tech tree vehicle or event vehicle.
The K-14 is firmly debunked as a complete fiction. This should not be added.
very interested in the Bf 109 k-6 it had 3 mk 108 and only was built would nice as event aircraft
book has more pages i just posted the most interesting parts !
The Bf 109 K-14 it’s very very interesting but the issue there still did not find any really good proof or destroyed parts for bf 109 k-14 for this day !
if they every find anything about it or really proof that’ only way that plane could be added

K-14 was proposed on previous forum years ago by Messerschmitt.
It was quite detailed suggestion as well and passed to developers iirc, sadly we never know what happened to it.
Also K8/10 with 3 Mk103 plus Mg-131 would be much better option compare to K-6.

K-8 / K-10 does even that exist??? o.o
Also we need drop tanks for 109s
Some sources claim they are.
I believe K-10 is at least existed at some point.

I was looking up if Germany had any plane that could be comparable to the Yak-9K with it’s powerful tank busting cannon and arrived here.
The K-10 wielded the Mk-103M cannon with belts similar to the Do-335.
Is there anything on the Bf-109 K-10? Apprently some books from Manfred Griehl and Dieter Herwig on specialist Luftwaffe armament histories had something on this, and the Mk-103M cannons. Apparently one prototype, as with many of the K-variants, but it’s really difficult to find anything on these.
This would be such a devilish plane to have. Please if anyone has any info, share more.
Unrelated to K-10, but here is a concept art of the K-6. This could also apparently wield 2 of the aforementioned mk-103ms under it’s wings.
Interesting read! I hope we can get more of these variants in the game. Easily my favorite prop plane.

We need another K variant. Then the H variant can follow, if G-2 and G-6 gets moved to Rank III

h variant? ohhh, what did it do?
Its so hard to find any reliable information about K6/8/10 models.
On old forum a famous former mod and also very intelligent BF109 enthusiast who’s called ‘Messerschmit’’ posted quite detailed information about these vehicles but sadly all those post got destroyed once the old forum is gone.
We sure K-14 is exists as he proved that with reliable sources that indicates that at least 2-4 models delivered to front line.

I’m guessing the wayback machine doesn’t have the page? Also he left WT?
I’m looking for books that provide detailed information on the Bf 109 G-0. Does anyone know of any good ones? I specifically interested in the standard tail unit version of the G-0, not the famous Serial Number - 14003.
Probably don’t.
Also I don’t know what he does on these days, he might be still playing the game from time to time but left bein MOD long ago.
This seems like a cool and unique addition. A Lighter G-6 with improved high-altitude performance.
