I wasnt talking about the F-6, which is in fact as you said a recon machine. But Gallands 109F with the pair of MGFF/Ms was designated "F-6/U". Other than the similar designations the two versions have no other greater similarity.
I have Gallands kill claim report for his 94. victory that he claimed in that very machine and it says:
![[Image: F6U.jpg]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v639/Karaya/F6U.jpg)
Type of machine: F6U
Spent amunition: 62 MG17, 22 MGFF/2cm, 14MG151/20 2cm
Type and amount of weapons used in the fight: 1 MG151/20, 2 MGFF/2cm, 2 MG17
I'm very much certain that this is a modified F-4 and NOT a F-2. The MG151/20 and the date of the kill (18.11.1941) point to it. At that time the F-4 type had been in service for over half a year. If Galland already went as far as having his kite modified with a unique armament scheme in a LW repair bay or manufacturing line then I'm sure he would have also wanted that more powerful DB601E to go with it!
