Lovely K4 demo! Thank you very much for the fascinating livestream. This gets my Apfelstrudel seal of approval! Hopefully there will be more! Also very well flown, Froggy.
Les canons de 20 mm en gondoles sous les ailes étaient montés sur les 109 G4 et G6. Le K4 tirait des obus de 13mm avec deux mitrailleuses de capot et avait un canon de 30 mm dans l'axe de l'hélice.
And how is it that in every encounter, the P-47’s miraculously appear in front of the 109’s in a perfect position to get blown out of the air... 5:00 to 7:00 from behind and never saw the 109 coming? And at the first burst of tracers from the 109, they just continue straight and level?
good question! My initial impression of the K-4 in the game at least, is that its the same plane as before, just more refined and higher performance and more user friendly. - Just a hunch it may have better high speed maneuverability.
Manoeuvrability in real life actually got worse, particularly elevator response at high speed because of the weight increase over the G models, superior speed and climb more than compensated for these losses.
Gavin Sherlock well. I really with that it’s elevators are functional at high speed, or else you get a plane that cannot maneuver and go fast or cannot go fast while maneuvering.
@@xfliegerkorps8676 i believe they are new models for the US and the German late war aircraft, Fw 190 A-8 and Bf 109 G-14 got their late war German pilot model as well. I also believe that there is a British pilot model in the works.
In game land ...maybe, but the 109 never could carry that much ammunition. AND ... The P47 could out climb any 109. The dog fight scenario is bogus because no P 47 pilot worth his salt would make those moves. Read the actual history. Chummly
Well.. After other games I played and books I read, I understood, that bfs with hanging cannons are much slowly and heavier, than bfs without extra weapons. So, I never took extra cannons in fights. The second thing - I never entered to fight with jugs higher than 10K feet without an advantage in altitude. If I meet a pair of jugs in 15K or higher, till 27K feet - I have no more than 1 chance to shoot, than run and/or die. Your fight is really strange for me. That D jugs must pull you up on those turbochargers, no turns, just smooth straight move up. And take a back looks at you, your bf is much slower. Than, when you tired to chase them and go down, they must u-turn and shoot you. There is problem with flight model in that game or what?
da fuck you talking about? K4 in straigh line was faster than p47. P47 was faster only diving. And obviously K4 OUTTURNS and OUTCLIMBS P47 dude... K4 is superior than P51D, how can you pretend that is not superior than a fatty ass P47?
Survivalist if I'm not mistaken mw50 was only effective up to about 20K feet. So I wouldn't be surprised if up at escort altitudes the p-51 and p-47 did out preform the k4. Below that then yes I'd give the edge to the k4.
@@Big1_ Get up to 25-30,00ft and the P47 has the advantages. The turning ability of all the 109 variants used on the Western Front were countered by top P47 pilots using their superior rolling. Done right, they would cut the corner on 109s and have them saddled. Coincidentally, F-4 crews learned to use the exact same maneuver when dogfighting Mig17s over North Vietnam.
lucky he didn't pull the trigger on your 1st over-shoot! nice vid!
They never do so I was pretty safe except for collision risk...
Very entertaining, loved the deflection shooting.

It was EPIC!!
@@FroggyFrog9000
It was the right thing to do, I could feel it deep down inside!
an old one but worth the wait... thanks!
your machine must be a beast to render in 4k!
I know Im kind of randomly asking but do anybody know of a good place to watch new series online ?
@Finn Matteo lately I have been using FlixZone. Just google for it :)
@Diego Idris yea, I've been watching on FlixZone for since march myself :D
@Diego Idris thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I appreciate it!!
@Finn Matteo you are welcome =)

Beautifully showing the K4 in action.. great vid froggy frog..
Pls tell me when is bodenplatte map available in early access ?
NICE finally i see the best prop of ww2 (K4 obviously) in action!! Thanks!
Its deffo an amazing plane. I have the K-4 also in DCS and Im gonna do a split screen comparison of the two.
P-51H spanks it, sorry m8
I wonder how a K4 would do against an F8F Bearcat.
BLUNTESTBOOT233 nope 👎
IL2 STURMOVIK, the kings of freeze in games!
they excel in this exercise !
the best !
you have written the same comment 5 times across my videos.
Your pilots eyes are demon like. Staring through my soul.
maybe put the bong down...
Ur Funny

Why are the gunsights in the German fighters offset to the right?
I dunno but there must be a good reason for it. My guess is forward visibility.
the p40s are the same
that's a good question i always wondered myself
The gunsight lines up with your dominant eye.
ah ok, is it adjustable so you can move it if your dominant eye is the left?@@jpjpjp453
Did maneuverability actually improve with the K-4 compared to the G model?

@@gsherlock weight doesn't do that
Aircrews all wearing oxygen masks now, huh? I don’t remember seeing that before...
it's new, added in recent update
Nice! Thanks for keeping me up to speed ^_^

I appreciate the info, KG Lehr - thanks! ^_^
Good hunting....
Cheers, its a great plane!
I can't find any difference between k 4 and g10

K-4 was the ultimate 109 variant. Its way better than the 47 all day long.

I think its the best flight model of any flight sim ever!

P-47 only won by numerical superiority, what the fuck are you talking about.
