The problem arouses because in IL-2 as we read in IL compare, Bf 109G-2 weights just 2838kg when Bf 109G-6 (Early and Late) weights 3171kg and Bf 109F-4 ....2920kg!!!In reality the weight of G-2s was a bit more than that of F-4s.I don't know why they made it like this.

This unrealistically low takeoff weight of the Bf109G2 is just to let the aircraft achieve realistic performances ingame (weird isnt it!?). Seems like the only way to achieve realistic performance for the G2 is to tinker a little bit with its weight, and thats what Oleg did!

The problem doesnt so much lie with the G2 than with the Fs and G6s. The G2 achieves and matches real life data almost exactly! Someone ranted that the 667km/h are over the top, but hell this was achieved by the Russians flying a captured aircraft as already pointed out. Now we know the Russians and Germans at that time werent exactly best friends... so why should the Russian aeronautical testing institute publish overrated and exagerated values for the aircraft of its enemy!? If anything it would publish lower values in order to boast how great their own aircraft are and how much of a piece of junk the enemy are.

Now besides the topspeed test carried out by the Russians I have also a scan of a turntime test made by them as well and the worst the G2 achieves is 20.5 seconds, which is again modelled spot on ingame!

Now when keeping in mind that the G6s both have the same engine and ONLY around 60kg more (+2%) weight on takeoff compared to the G2 their best turntime in IL2 of no less than 23seconds seems way out of balance. If I'd have to guess then I would say it shouldnt be worse than 21seconds. Also their topseeds compare poorly, coming in at 630km/h for the early and 635km/h for the late model.

Calculating in the true speed loss of the MG bulges, tail wheel and kidney buldges plus the 1,42 clearance for the late model, this SHOULD be 640 and 650km/h respectively!

For the 109Fs the only thing thats modelled incorrectly is their turntimes which should be in the lower 19seconds region yet their are 19,9 and 20,5 (F2 and F4)

If we correct this the whole image is restored to a logic result!
