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.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.

Presumably somebody will put all these versions to good use in several ETO mission packs or campaigns ...![]()
