My two cents:
I personally love the 109, and don't mind having lots of versions. However, the one-off and very limited production stuff is a little much, I guess. Yes, there are many more planes that should be added to this sim, but I think there are two main reasons why so many 109 mods have been added.
1. There were LOTS of variants made in real life. There were many more variants actually put into production than, say, the Spitfire had.
2. It's relatively easy to add more Bf-109s because the 3D models are already there! Pretty much any 109 can be made by starting with one of Maddox's models. It's obviously a lot easier to edit an existing model than to make a whole new one from scratch.
I'd love to have more French fighters and British bombers, but I can't make them, and I'm certainly not going to complain that others aren't making them for me. Until I can model and learn Java, I'll take what I can get!
