hi guys, i realise the Bf109 is a very treasured plane of the BOB, and seeing a Bf109E-3 would be fantastic (it did have a cannon through engine although often removed/ overheating).
However the Bf109E-4 was converted from the E-3 simply by removing the cannon in hub, making a few structural improvements and maybe changing cockpit design which could be done in a few days.
This happened. Of several hundred units of Bf109E-3's that were in fact the largest produced of the Emil variant, they were 90% of them upgraded either before or during the early months of the Battle of Britain to E-4 standard (July - September) of 1940. This was to prepare them of the offensive over Britain and the fighting to ensue.
There were basically no performance differences except for maybe a few mph added in the E-4, which was probably reduced by structural improvments anyway.
I would like to see a Bf 109E-3 however as i think the E-4 in game is not as parallel in performance to the Spitfire Mk 1 (Mod) as i want.
Check out this link for my performance guide on the net for the Bf109E-3/E-4 Vs Spitfire MK IA:
