The Best Bf - 109 Variant ?

As the Bf-109 moved on in development it's flaws were increased. The Bf-109 was only great in the hands of an expert, luckily for the Luftwaffe they had more experts than the other nations.

It's a lot like the P-38 in the way that the P-38 with an experienced pilot was the best aircraft in the sky (or damn close to be) but not every pilot is an expert. In fact most pilots aren't, they just like to think they are.

So, I will say the Bf-109F was the best because it had good performance and the best handling of any Bf-109.

I agree that of all the Varients the 109F was the best in those catagories.

And as for this:

but not every pilot is an expert. In fact most pilots aren't, they just like to think they are.

You are right in more ways than you can imagine!

Anybody knows if this giro-gunsight was actually used by any late 109 version...?
