Description: The Messerschmitt BF 109 G6 was a german fighter from ww2, it was the sixth version of the G series. In the Italian service the aircraft was used by both the Regia Aereonautica and the Aereonautica nazionale Repubblicana. The reason why the BF 109 alongside with other German fighter were delivered was because there were to few fighter from the serie 5 (G55,Re2005 and MC205) and the Regia Aereonautica needes more aircraft as a stop gap. The G6 variant was the most used one, featuring a total of over 300 units in the G6 and G6/R3 variant. The aircraft were mainly used as interceptors against the allied bombers until august 1944 when the luftwaffe made the very not intelligent trial to make the ANR a part of the luftwaffe. This situation stopped all operations until the october of the same year.Aftert this unconvenient, the G6 and G6/R3 continued to fight in the reparts of the ANR until the end of the war scoring also a good number of victories.
Why it should be in the game: This aircraft after the armistice was the most used fighter in the RSI and i believe it would be very good to have such as this fighter in the game for historical reasons. it would also fit very nice as a premium or as an event.
