War Thunder Bf-109 Air Combat Tutorial
In this video, I used a wide variety of Bf-109s to show the viewer how to best use this aircraft in aerial combat. The Bf-109 is not a very agile aircraft, it has poor horizontal maneuverability. The Bf-109 is a small framed aircraft with a very powerful engine in it. It was inexpensive to build and over 34,000 were built during World War 2. The Bf-109 could not carry a lot of armaments compared to a FW-190. The Bf-109 has a very good climb rate due to its light weight and power DB-605A engine. In other words, it has a very good power to weight ratio. Its default armaments are 1 20mm cannon, and two machine guns all mounted on the nose. However, there was a kit to add 2 20mm or 30mm cannons on the wings. Adding the kit did affect the handling, climb rate, and reduce the speed of the aircraft. I would classify this aircraft as a hit and run aircraft. I always climb as high as I can, and conduct diving attacks on enemies below. Then, I use the speed gained from the dive to climb up and escape to safety. You can easily convert potential energy from altitude to kinetic energy and vice versa. If you do get into a tight spot, you can use vertical maneuvers in a dogfight. Performing loops take less time than making a full combat turn. The loop does tax you more in terms of speed than banking maneuvers; however, it takes less time. This will enable you to get behind your enemy or escape. The Bf-109 is my favorite aircraft, because I like making low risk hit and run attacks. During World War 2, a lot of German, Hungarian, & Romanian aces used it in this way. My philosophy on vehicles greatly emphasis power to weight ratios, and I like smaller compact sized vehicles with powerful engines.
