Bf 109-6 vs. Macchi C. 205V Serie III


This version of the Macchi had two cannons in the nose, and two guns in the wings.

I debated whether to put the Reggiane Re. 2005 in the poll, because it was possibly even better than the Macchi 205, but in the end decided to go with the Macchi, because of the larger number that were built.

Edit: Actually, I did enter the Reggiane Re. 2005 in the poll, against them both.

The Reggiane 2005 is better than both, and I'd rank them like this:

1. Re2005
2. Bf-109 G-6
3. Macchi C.205V
 
I agree Soren's ranking but always have to ask what the mission profile is - as always there are relative plus and minus comparisons depending on altitude and mission.
 
Greetings!

Since P-38 pilots of the 82nd Fighter Group had more problems with the MC-205 than the Me-109G, I will take the MC-205. William Green, who has written many books on World War 2 aviation rated the MC 205 as one of the few Axis planes capable of matching the P-51D.

Watch your 6!
