I Wonder...

The real difference between the AvH K-6 and G-10 lies of course in the air file.

If we begin nitpicking it's K-4 vs. G-10, the K-6 was the one armed by the usual gun battery plus a MK108 in each wing. I've never been able to make out if those wing guns were "built in" like in the E series or just carried externally like in the well known Rüstsatz R6. The 4.00 series Bf 109G-10 with a home built DB605DCM is quite a monster, dogfights well with a P-51D while pushing out 2200 bhp with MW50 and climbing at over 6000 feet per minute. Somehow I think the climb rates in this sim are a bit flawed though...

But my own favourite, that's a tough one. The fantastic Three Aces Spitfire series is the top contender for sure, especially the Mk IX for its beautifully harmonic looks, but I also like the latest versions of the Lancaster and Halifax a lot. While they may not be 100% polished they look exactly as they should and that's what counts for me.
 
Bugger, K-4, you're right. Long day already.

My docs say "IN the wings" for the K-6, but as I've never consciously seen anything to confirm that...
