Thanks guys for your input i have all ways known the number would never be known because of the very nature of WW2 and the records kept a loose guess is all i can expect.
Really all things said and done i wanted to underline the Fact the ME109 made a big mark in History but only to the few who...
This is about how many Aircraft the ME109 Shot down i was trying to get an estimate from the knowledge you guys have and can find out i am really thinking the number would be some were from 25,000-50,000 planes given the losses in ww2 to Germany.

I not saying the ME109 did shot down 50,000 planes but from losses of WW2 planes fighting Germany(i guess 150,000planes) and that it was the main fighter for Germany was for all of WW2 was the ME109(33-35,000 made) leads to one big number how many well?
"Aircraft losses
Finland: Reported losses...

I know the JG52 shot down 10,000 planes flying Me109s and during the battle of Britain ME 109s shot down at least 600 or more so how many?did this plane shot down 50,000 planes?
A question i have wanted to know for a very long time and i do know the answer will never be fully known but would...
The p40 would only have slightly better turn capabilities (maybe) if the me109g6 had wing mounted guns if there were not fitted the G6 would easy out turn the P40.Then the Germans used the Me109 a fighter (not with wing guns) or as a bomber attack aircraft (with wing guns 20-30mm,200m rocket)
This is only because the Me109 was forced to land and take off in the poor airfields of the USSR and narrow under carriage.....the spitfire suffered the same thing.
The p40 was only a little better fighter than the Hurricane!
