To answer your question Roxane:
That was pretty much true. The Bf 109 G-1 and G-2 were produced at the same time and were almost identical. The G-1 cockpit was pressurized to operate at higher altitudes.[FONT=Tahoma, Arial]The G-2 aircraft differed from the G-1 only in that they were equipped with a conventional cockpit. Production plans were constantly revised in favor of the simpler Bf 109G-2. Its output grew rapidly to 1,587 produced while the G-1 only had 167 produced. The G-1 entered the units operating in the west where the combat was at high altitude. Then the G-2 was used on the Eastern Front where most combat was at lower levels. The first G-2s were received by I.JG 54 and III.JG 52. In early July, 1942, pilots of II.JG 54 transferred to the Bf109G-2, and in early August 1942, I / JG 51 received new aircraft. The G-2 was also produced as a tropical version and was sent to the African / Mediterranean theaters. As far as I know, JG 4 based in Romania was the only G-2 user not in the East Front or the Mediterranean theater.
BTW the Bf 109G-2/trop will be the next DTD release shortly.[/FONT]

UncleTgt,
As soon as I get the chance, I will be updating many campaigns. However, if someone wants to "channel" me, they are more than welcome to update in my name. Just be careful about weapons payloads!
Presumably somebody will put all these versions to good use in several ETO mission packs or campaigns ...
