Wrong.
K-14 was actually produced and delivered to certain squadron. 2 of them saw combat.
Could you share the source? But spare me the “first flight in 1946” joke — heard it a million times.
The source was shared on old forum by Messerschmitt with the suggestion iirc, sadly we dont have access to that information anymore unless suggestion transferred to new forum.

That’s a shame. I’ll look into it myself, but… man, the Bf 109 with a four-bladed prop is seriously cool. It’d be awesome if we could find an actual photo of it someday, but let’s talk about that later. Anyway, the BR for the Bf 109 E series definitely needs to go up.

I don’t know anything about current E series performance but i think K-4 can get some love and br reduction.
btw really nice how the k-4 has 10k SL repair cost
Had a random youtube short show up in my feed.
The claim: “Bf 109s in Warthunder have broken leading edge slats that don’t work.”
hint: they work just fine. Just the instructor doesn’t pull enough AoA to make them deploy.
Pictured: Bf 109 G-14 with slats deployed.

In the Bf 109G, thanks to its automatic leading-edge slats, there is a genuine chance to outperform the P-51D or P-47 in the low-speed regime… though to be honest, that’s more or less the only meaningful advantage it has.
Bf 109 T-2
- Rank : Rank II → Rank III
- All Battle : BR: 3.0 → 4.0
Reasoning:
The Bf 109 T-2 is an excellent fighter that combines superior turning performance and climb rate, making it fully capable of competing against the Yak-3 and Spitfire F. It’s 20mm Minengeschoß ammunition is extremely powerful. With 2,000 rounds of 7.92mm MG 17 machine guns, it can also pour fire into enemy aircraft for a long time and turn them into Swiss cheese.
When compared to the Japan Ki-61, the Bf 109 T-2 is superior in low-speed turns, slightly inferior in high-speed turns, has comparable firepower, and possesses an overwhelmingly better climb rate.
Hmm… I missed the timing, so I’ll leave this here for now.
