@@ZhaoDrek he modified his prop pitch angle to slow down the plane. This had the same effect as an actual airbrake. Google "prop pitch" and you'll understand. :)
Thanks adam I really like this style of video with no commentary, allows me to focus on the gameplay and listen to my own music while watching. Keep the vids coming also would like to see a ta154 video.
This is my most used plane of all time, back in the day i got a talisman on it and grinded all 6 necessary tier 4 planes in one night with this beast. Before they changed the gunpods this thing was INSANE
My favorite plane in the game (and favorite WW2 plane as well)! Such a joy to fly, I feel like it’s a perfect balance between engine power, speed, and maneuverability. Thanks to the fact that it’s lighter than the G models with only slightly worse climb, even I was able to carry a match in a deliberate uptier with 3 friends flying 109 G-10s. Also the overheating is kind of fun to manage with MEC. Lastly, the GLORIOUS GERMAN AIR BRAKE!
Its just an OP plane. Heavily biased and not true to specs. For instance. The p47 was the fastest diving prop fighter plane of ww2. That is a well known fact. Yet in this game a bf109 can out dive a p47 which is just wrong.
@Bilbo Fappins Given what I have seen in game I don’t really believe that. At 24,000ft my optimum performance alt in a p47, flying at 405mph, with a bf109 .98 below me and can somehow pull up and gain on me while I maintain a straight line and yet the bf109 can catch me and shoot me down while it pulls up. Also don’t believe the dive. Start a 5-10 degree dive at 24,000ft bc I have a Ta153 or bf109 on my 6 and they usually catch me and shoot me down by 10,000ft. Energy fight means nothing in this horribly crafted game.
@Bilbo Fappins Game is also trash when they have things like a J7W japanese push plane, which was experimental, never saw combat and suffered from severe vibrations and engine failure out flying f4u-4s and p51 mustangs. Its just hogwash.
I think that spitfire might've broken off to try and bait you into chasing and climbing so he can use his high alt performance, but they might've panicked seeing you close in, either that or they didn't know how to deal with a bf109 very well and tried to bait for his team instead. That's something I'll do a lot of the time against people at higher alts when they outperform me - just try to drag them down and have a teammate sideclimb above them.
I’d say the g6 is generally easier to use (feels like a diet super prop and has slightly better guns) but it’s repair is a bit high and it gets uptiered to 5.7. alas I still used the f4 to grind out lots more events and rp. and I’ve never had as good a match as you did this video in my g6, truly skillful flying!
I was playing the G-2/trop one time and pilot sniped a P-51 with a single 20 mm shell. Have no idea how; and I'm sure I couldn't do it again if I tried.
That map is great for terrain fighting in realistic. But when I first started playing in arcade half the maps are like that and with the increased tempo it is really awesome looping around mountains and canyons
Amazing plane Although personally i flew the E4 109 a lot more and both it and the F4 have the distinction of being the best 109s in the game for their respective BRs
The f4 is currently my highest tier plane I’ve been playing this game for quite a while but never really got into planes because I wasn’t a good pilot your channel and his vid especially will help me become a better f4 pilot and pilot in general I’m glad people like you are here your channel will help me get into air rb
This plane is absolute cancer in AB. There's one or two of them every match at altitude and they are impossible for anything else at the BR to really deal with if flown competently
@@derrickstorm6976 Looks like you don't understand how logic works. Literal hackers are also rare; doesn't make them any less cancerous. The fact that I am encountering this type of player using this exact plane and playstyle in every single 4.0 match, given the variety of vehicles available at and around 4.0, should immediately tell you that this isn't "pretty rare". YOUR logic eats itself.
@@HRCSJSUAMMAS J-21 only has guns. F-4 just needs to dodge the head-on for an insta win. I agree with the yak-3 to an extent, but it is weaker in every area other than maybe flat turning. My choice for hunting campers is the J2m2.
I know you post your settings in the descriptions but I just wanted to ask to make sure, do you use vertical convergence for this plane? And on that topic, do you recommend using vertical convergence for any planes in particular? Good to see a new video from you, keep it up!
@@33.666 The tropical version is much like the standard F-4 variant. New features are engine intake dust filter, a socket for sun-umbrellas and several other accommodations versus particulate matter. While these modifications allowed for prolonged service life in harsh environments like the Russian veld and Libya's desert, it also (marginally) costs top speed and engine performance due to increased air resistance and power diversion for the filtered aspirator, although these are hardly noticeable in combat.
F4 with 15mm pods with cermet core bullets make a caos on ground battles, you should try it, also I love using the G6, for me it is the best plane of its BR
Although it has a great climb, good turn and energy retention, sometimes landing a single cannon shot in the propeller hub can be tricky enough to empty the ammo quickly :P
I think the SCG switch for the Mk IX is about 5.5km depending on the map, but at 4.5km it still is losing power. Nice flying amd with 4 minutes to spare!!
Hey Adam, I was playing with P51Ds these days. It is truely amazing when there's team work going on. But that rarely happen. Including myself, players don't know much how to setup baits, stratergies for duos against a single, dual or triple enemies, what enemy to attack kinda things. Can you do something about it so we can learn, please?... Love your work by the way...
That's the nature of disorganized teams in a team-based game. Just picking up on baits and tips in my videos should help. The issue is getting enough people to learn about baiting though.
It's always fun to fly against skilled Messerschmitts, I have to use wits to win with my A6M. But oh god, please remove the BVs and Me264s from the fight between me and them!
What I mean is that on some maps german bombs spot us fighters by flying 1.5km above our climb route without any interception. While they get tactical advantages and more options, we can't expect such contribution from US bombers... On maps like Ladoga, where fighter and bomber routes don't intersect, I can climb while keeping my presence secret
Haven't played for a couple of years now. longer even. But with out doubt this is my go to fighter. I think this model was close to the best at that time in the war. later models even though better in some regards were losing the race against ever better fighters from the States, Russia and the UK.
Eyy the legend has come back! Also sorry if I always bug u with the P-51D-30 (I'm too poor to fly that thing now tho) but could u take it out and make a vid about it against germans/italians or other better climbing planes? I also have a few vid suggestions: -Do a vid on the times u died and explain what u could've done better (so that we can improve as well) -Do a vid reviewing other people's replays and see what went wrong (inspired from Long5hot)
Biggest tips for the P-51 Stay over 350kmh if at all possible. Gentle turns if possible. Keep maneuvers in the vertical if you can afford to lose the speed. But your drag is significantly lower at high speeds and low angles of attack. Use MEC. Perma-wep, 100% prop, 75-100% rads. Master the diving side to side overshoot bait. Essentially you pull the higher enemy into a dive above his compression speed. You roll side to side with a bit of rudder and pull g’s to bleed speed. They will try to follow but they cannot maneuver sharp enough to bleed their speed. They will overshoot. Then you follow them up shooting all the way.
@@zedoktor979 I have done most of what you said, however most of the time I get outclimbed while the rest of my team went for that one random enemy groundpounder on the deck
I personally prefer the g2. It climbs a bit better and the gunpods that have actual mg 151s not the 15mm ones make it really nice. I find it hard to work with only one cannon in f4 as the 15mm gunpods are next to useless.
I want you to try the french sb2c with gun pods. It's an interesting play style, I use it like a support by trying to take out fighters climbing from their AF for my own team to get a fighter advantage
Wow, another great and educated video from you. Your video is relaxing and educate me how to be a better pilot. Btw i have problem. I never win an engagement with spitfire when using Bf109 series. Can you give me an advise?
The Spitfire has a big advantage in a dogfight. Your strength as a 109 is your climb and you generally outspeed the Spitfire by a small margin as well. Use the climb to start a fight with the altitude advantage to BnZ, and as long as you don't have the alt advantage, bait the Spitfire towards higher teammates.
GG fighters ! Personnellement je préfère le G2/trop (j'ai pas le G2 premium ^^). Il me semble que le G2/trop a de meilleurs performances à haute altitude (ou du moins une vitesse max plus élevée) mais il est plus lourd donc a de moins bonnes perf' de manière générale. Mais honnêtement, si préfère le G2/trop c'est surtout parce que c'est avec lui que j'ai commencé à maîtriser le gameplay en RB Avion (en 2014 donc) et surtout à apprendre à utiliser la caméra pour regarder autour de moi tout en utilisant les commandes de profondeur et le roulis :D C'est d'ailleurs avec cet avion que j'ai eu mon premier ace contre 3 P-47M et quelques Typhoons (à l'époque il y avait moins d'avions donc beaucoup de joueurs avaient les mêmes modèles, ça faisait un peu plus réaliste). Mes adversaires avaient fait beaucoup d'erreurs mais j'étais assez fier de mon ace car que j'avais du mal à regarder autour de moi tout en combattant ^^
It is indeed the best of the best 109, it could tackle P-51C and P-47s in "uptiered" SB EC 3 (in IRL F4 will face Spit V and Spit I, Hurri and Tomahawk more especially in Africa). As I said before, ace in a flight in this plane is a common sight!
Great video, I learned so much watching your content. Dodging the Corsair you wrote: the dodge would have been sufficient on the US server, but on the EU server you got elevator clipped off. Is it because of the ping? I am asking, as I play on both servers.
Great game, you played this like a chess game, perfect stuff, congrats. Must had been quite depressing irl to have your whole plane in tact but need to crash land due to stuff like tail control damage. On retrospect I'm sure they were thanking god it was only tail control damage instead of being obliterated.
Honestly, I don't really like the 109. I feel like the Yak-3 and P-63A-10 are both better at the same BR. While it climbs great, I really hate the flaps and the roll characteristics, and the ER is nothing to write home about. Also, I've been playing the Fw 190 A-5/U-12 recently and loving it. Any chance of a video on it or any other early A model?
Both those planes have poor high alt performance compared to the 109 so that great climb can make you untouchable, especially with the P63 since it completely chokes past 4km, the Yak3 is lighter so it's a bigger thhreat.
Imo XP55 is not quite as good as XP50 or maybe people just don't know how to fly it. That's at least my experience whenever I fly the BF 109 F4. XP55 is pretty easy to win by taking him to low speed fight but once there is a XP50 on my tail I have no idea how to get it off.
Ur aim is absolutely on point. I usually get to nice positions with my BF G6 or TA 125H1 but my aim sucks so if it is not a clear shot I sometimes miss my target and give him another chance to fight. Any tips?
Hey Adam! I recently discovered your channel and I love it! Do you think you could make an Air RB tutorial on how to get better? Every time I go into a game, I climb to 14,000 ft and then get instantly killed. Any tips?
To be honest I like the Bf 109 F-4 a lot, for both its technological and aesthetic aspects. But this plane feels just too easy at 4.0, not even sure if the picture would change if it got 4.3. So, instead I'm flying the Spitfire F Mk.IX, in which many people manage to absolutely suck. And to be frank, I have no regrets, because wrecking havoc upon overconfident 109s is a bliss. Reversals for life.
Well done, mate! Honestly, I have issues with Me-109F piloting. And after this video, I want to try again and again. Can you tell me, how do you set your flaps on landing during the combat? How do you set radiator on 50%. Honestly, I see it in the first time
love your profile pix XD F4 is basically in improve version of Emils Emils look edgy, angry, and bad-ass looking radiator but it trade for aerodynamic. F model mean Fast XDDD Friedrich model is redesign the airframe, radiator, engine cowling, propeller spinner, etc

Use the climb to start a fight with the altitude advantage to BnZ, and as long as you don't have the alt advantage, bait the Spitfire towards higher teammates.
Lets go new adam video
Yes!
GG fighters !
Personnellement je préfère le G2/trop (j'ai pas le G2 premium ^^).
Il me semble que le G2/trop a de meilleurs performances à haute altitude (ou du moins une vitesse max plus élevée) mais il est plus lourd donc a de moins bonnes perf' de manière générale. Mais honnêtement, si préfère le G2/trop c'est surtout parce que c'est avec lui que j'ai commencé à maîtriser le gameplay en RB Avion (en 2014 donc) et surtout à apprendre à utiliser la caméra pour regarder autour de moi tout en utilisant les commandes de profondeur et le roulis :D
C'est d'ailleurs avec cet avion que j'ai eu mon premier ace contre 3 P-47M et quelques Typhoons (à l'époque il y avait moins d'avions donc beaucoup de joueurs avaient les mêmes modèles, ça faisait un peu plus réaliste). Mes adversaires avaient fait beaucoup d'erreurs mais j'étais assez fier de mon ace car que j'avais du mal à regarder autour de moi tout en combattant ^^
G2/Trop est en effet un peu plus rapide et a un meilleur taux de monté que le F4, mais est plus lourd comme tu dis.
It is indeed the best of the best 109, it could tackle P-51C and P-47s in "uptiered" SB EC 3 (in IRL F4 will face Spit V and Spit I, Hurri and Tomahawk more especially in Africa). As I said before, ace in a flight in this plane is a common sight!
Ace in SB you mean?
@@AdamTheEnginerd yes, ace in a flight in SB
Those F4U pilots were flying pretty well
First one yeah, 2nd was ground pounding for the first half of the match unfortunately.
06:00 “..both have significant turn advantage”
- Hans-Joachim Marseille has entered the chat
I wonder how he'd perform in WT.
@@AdamTheEnginerd Yeah, me too. Although most likely he will shoot himself down when he plays the game and sees the Flight models..
What is that hud on the left from? It contains very useful info!
Gotta say the g2 is very fun
Yup.
Great video, I learned so much watching your content.
Dodging the Corsair you wrote: the dodge would have been sufficient on the US server, but on the EU server you got elevator clipped off.
Is it because of the ping?
I am asking, as I play on both servers.
Yeah the ping difference is what made the difference between getting hit and not getting hit in this case.
@@AdamTheEnginerd Thank you for the answer.
It's great to learn the aspects of the game.
Wow great Gameplay! That was just entertaining to watch! I wish i was that good at the game lol
Glad you enjoyed it! You'll get there ;).
Great game, you played this like a chess game, perfect stuff, congrats.
Must had been quite depressing irl to have your whole plane in tact but need to crash land due to stuff like tail control damage.
On retrospect I'm sure they were thanking god it was only tail control damage instead of being obliterated.
Great video, keep it up. (Btw it’s BlankTheGamer)
Thanks!
Idk if it’s just less experienced players at this br but this plane feels disgustingly strong
There's some of that yeah.
I remember getting up to 4 kills with this thing every round best thing ever still is good aircraft just people are more experience
That's very good.
Honestly, I don't really like the 109. I feel like the Yak-3 and P-63A-10 are both better at the same BR. While it climbs great, I really hate the flaps and the roll characteristics, and the ER is nothing to write home about.
Also, I've been playing the Fw 190 A-5/U-12 recently and loving it. Any chance of a video on it or any other early A model?
the energy retention of a plane that is 50% engine is nothing to write home about?
Both those planes have poor high alt performance compared to the 109 so that great climb can make you untouchable, especially with the P63 since it completely chokes past 4km, the Yak3 is lighter so it's a bigger thhreat.
A5/U12 is nice, and on my list!
I like this style of video
Thanks!
IMHO the best bf109 for the br is the F1, that thing is absolutely insane at 2.3 Still the F4 is a beast, best 4.0 plane imho
XP55 is very good for 4.0 as well.
Imo XP55 is not quite as good as XP50 or maybe people just don't know how to fly it. That's at least my experience whenever I fly the BF 109 F4. XP55 is pretty easy to win by taking him to low speed fight but once there is a XP50 on my tail I have no idea how to get it off.
Ur aim is absolutely on point. I usually get to nice positions with my BF G6 or TA 125H1 but my aim sucks so if it is not a clear shot I sometimes miss my target and give him another chance to fight. Any tips?
Hey Adam! I recently discovered your channel and I love it! Do you think you could make an Air RB tutorial on how to get better? Every time I go into a game, I climb to 14,000 ft and then get instantly killed. Any tips?
Su-9?
Great video very cool
Thanks!
Hmm never flown it, maybe!
Cool video...thanks yet again Adam. How do you manage to use MEC on the 109? I always blow my engine when I do.
Thanks!
Just don't enable manual prop pitch, leave that automatic and only controls the rads.
8:20 WHY. ARE. SPITFIRES. GOING. FOR. HEADONS?
Haha can say that about every plane.
Imagine getting so excited you lose situation awareness. I was on that match . Pretty dope shots.
Who were you?
@@AdamTheEnginerd the charlesvane12 dude
Fell like an idiot
To be honest I like the Bf 109 F-4 a lot, for both its technological and aesthetic aspects.
But this plane feels just too easy at 4.0, not even sure if the picture would change if it got 4.3.
So, instead I'm flying the Spitfire F Mk.IX, in which many people manage to absolutely suck.
And to be frank, I have no regrets, because wrecking havoc upon overconfident 109s is a bliss. Reversals for life.
Here I was gonna put some work in with Sweden but after seeing this I guess I could take the ol F4 out for a spin or 5…
Haha good hunting!
I usually prefer to play the k4, but f4 is always the next best thing!
Understandable.
Adam, as always cool videos. I learned to fly from your videos. Make a video with f6f plz))
Thanks! I did do a recent F6F video!
I love this aircraft
It's a fun Bf109.
Well done, mate! Honestly, I have issues with Me-109F piloting. And after this video, I want to try again and again.
Can you tell me, how do you set your flaps on landing during the combat?
How do you set radiator on 50%. Honestly, I see it in the first time
to set the Flaps on landing you need to bind buttons to the Flaps up and Flaps down settings in the controls
nice, I missed the random match videos a bit
Ye.
Its been a while since you posted a gameplay, i missed it :D
:).
SICK gameplay man!! If you could try the boomerang mk1 or 2 it would be awesome🙏
Thanks!
I've never flown the Boomerang haha.
F-4 is a golden mean between early and late messhersmidts
"Mers-hers-mert" 😂😂
Its more aerodynamic clean than the Es and its more nimble than the Gs (which were optimized for climbing because gotta to intercept bombers!)
Yup.
love your profile pix XD
F4 is basically in improve version of Emils
Emils look edgy, angry, and bad-ass looking radiator but it trade for aerodynamic.
F model mean Fast XDDD
Friedrich model is redesign the airframe, radiator, engine cowling, propeller spinner, etc
Why didn’t you used the gun pods ? They provide very significant firepower and ammo capacity increase
I always use the F4
Leftwaffe is lucky to have Adam on their side, if i was Hitla i would order: PROTEC DIS MAN AT ALL COST
Goering: oke doke mein Fuhra o7
Lmao nice.
question: which of the 109 Gs are made for high alt fighting and which are made for low to mid alt energy fighting???
G14 & AS are the high altitude variants if I remember correctly, there's a comparison video out there somewhere
G10 and G14AS are the best at high alt. G6 and the ones before the F series would be mid alt.
@@AdamTheEnginerd thanks
@@AdamTheEnginerd i have been corrected
Bf 109 F-4, the only Messer you need.
Yeah.
