[Coming Soon] Bf 109 G-14 – Late-War Juggernaut

The era of air warfare is coming! Check out the first of the Big Trophy warplanes set to arrive soon: the Bf 109 G-14.

Historical Note

The Bf 109 G-14 fighter was a late joiner in the Luftwaffe airfleet, seeking to consolidate and standardize the improvements of its predecessors. Although these standardization efforts were largely in vain, and the German Air Force continued to employ numerous branching sub-variants, the G (Gustav) series received a range of solid upgrades. Chief among them was a powerful 12-cylinder engine Daimler-Benz DB-605AM with an output of 1,260 hp.

As such, the G-14 traded some of its low altitude performance to make it more capable at higher altitudes, allowing it to transition to the interceptor role when called upon.

Bf 109 G-14 (Rank VII)

SWOT Analysis

Strengths: Extremely versatile, lots of firepower, and superb energy retention, extensive armament selection.
Weaknesses: Limited effectiveness against armored or ground targets despite the ability to carry bombs.
Opportunities: Great high altitude performance and energy retention make it ideal for energy fighting and executing Bf 109’s signature boom-and-zoom tactics.
Threats: High-altitude boom-and-zoom fighters, and low-altitude turn fighters.

Please note that the “pylons” refer to the “suspended armament assemblies” and not the “pilots” of the crew.

At Rank VII, the Bf 109 G-14 is a rewarding yet demanding machine. Thanks to its exceptional climb rate and solid energy retention, this fighter is best used for energy fighting and capitalizing on enemy mistakes. Your ideal altitude is between 2 and 4 kilometers, though you’ll still be able to engage targets a little higher than that, especially on interception duty.

One other thing the G-14’s got going for it is the armament. The nose-mounted 20 mm MG 151 cannons and two 13 mm MG 131 machine guns provide a solid foundation for the fighter’s offensive capabilities, but if you’re looking for more punch, you can always add the 30 mm MK 108 cannon or 20 mm MG 151 cannon pods to the wings to improve your one-second burst mass. The fighter can also carry the SC250 bombs.

The premium ♠︎Bf 109 G-14♠ maintains the same performance as the standard variant, though it comes in a unique desert gold camouflage.
