Warthunder HB 1.33.41 CR test Bf109 G-6 (250km/h IAS, 110%, 30min fuel, MA)

As always, the test is done with reference aircraft with no additional gun pods to find it's true strength.

The Bf109 G-6 has only 3 choices of fuel to select from, when you start the game. Please note that the actual fuel you start your battle with might vary from Test Flight.

In test flight, the G-6 starts with more fuel than advertised.

1. 20min - the plane starts with 20:28
2. 30min - 31:28
3. 46min - 49:10

It's definitely worth to take 30min of fuel, as the plane still climb well and you might gain an advantage over Spitfire Mk IXs in terms of range. (Many Spitfire Mk IX pilots will use only 20min to increase their climb speed and while they use WEP, their fuel will drain a lot). 

One note about Bf109 G-6's cannon MK108 - it's a low muzzle velocity cannon, low rpg also makes vulnerable against exploits. The worst part - it's rate of fire. It fires just too quick and with 12rnds/s, you will deplete your main gun after only 5.4s of consecutive fire. 

Don't shoot over 300m, unless you are really desperate.

Always use cannon and HMG separately. 

Now back to the test. 

Chart 01: Climb rate

As you can see, the Bf109 G-6 climbs extremely well.

At 5000m, the Bf109 starts to loose it's 22-23m/s climb rate.

At 6000m, the performance drops under 20m/s

At 7000m, the performance drops under 15m/s

Exact data (automatically generated): 25553 ft climbed in 405.44s, average: 19.21 m/s

The measurement started at 139m above sea at 250km/h IAS. The climb was smooth without extreme drops in performance.
The test ended at 26008ft @ 250km/h IAS with 23:25 fuel to spare.
