The Messerschmitt Bf 109, often called the Me 109, was a German World War II Luftwaffe fighter aircraft designed by Willy Messerschmitt and Robert Lusser during the early to mid 1930s. | |||
This plane is a nice mix of everything you are looking for. While not as maneuverable as the [[#Spitfire|Spitfire]], [[#Yak|Yak]] or [[#Mustang|Mustang]], this plane can hold its own quite well. It's a decent bomber, and a decent fighter. If there's room for improvement, it's in the handling. One of the more subtle advantages of this plane is its engine. Many believe that the Spitfire is a superior aircraft, and they would not be incorrect. The Spitfire has superior roll and yaw to the Bf109, but the Bf109 always has the option of climbing out of the fight, whereas the Spitfire does not. The conclusion is never follow this airplane along its Z axis, meaning never dive or climb after it. If you try, you will find that you have stalled right as the Bf109 comes around for a killer pass. A much better method (since you will be flying the more maneuverable Mustang, Yak or Spitfire) is to continue your turn around the Bf109. As he returns to normal flight, you will both be back where you started, which is far better than stalling out your less powerful plane in pursuit of the Bf109. | This plane is a nice mix of everything you are looking for.
