Chapter 77 P-47 and BF109
The American P-47M is a special "Thunder" high-speed model, which is prepared to intercept the German V-1 missiles and the new jet fighters and rocket fighters equipped by the Luftwaffe at the end of World War II.

法明代尔工厂从生产线上挑出了四架P-47D-27-RE（42-27385~27388），进行R-2800-57(C)发动机和大型CH-5涡轮增压器的改装。该发动机在9，900米高度时通过喷水加力可获得2，800马力的紧急作战功率。该机还在机翼下方增加了俯冲减速板，编号改为YP-47M。

1944年9月法明代尔工厂在最后130架P-47D-30-RE上引入了新发动机和涡轮增压器，批次号也改为P-47M-1-RE。

"P-47M-1-RE has a monster-like engine output, and the speed is probably the fastest at 5.3. The firepower of the 3400 M8 heavy machine guns with a total ammunition of 2 rounds is also quite powerful, and the quality of ammunition projected per second is sufficient. It weighs 4.44 kilograms." Otowa paused for a moment, and then continued: "However, this 5-ton fighter is definitely not as flexible as a light fighter."

Mika also nodded, agreeing with Otowa's statement.

"Although the speed and high-speed operability of the P-47M-1-RE are good, according to Minister Betty, the height of this game should not be too high, and the advantage of the P-47 is that the engine output is still strong at 6000 meters .At medium and low altitudes, it is difficult for the P-47 to take advantage of fighters of the same level."

The R-47 engine of the P-2800 can still guarantee a very good output at a height where other series of fighters have begun to suffer from asthma.During World War II, the U.S. military also took advantage of this feature in the escort operations of bombers, and beat the German BF109 and FW190 whose engine output had seriously declined.

"That's right. Since the attack plane is to be covered, the engagement altitude will definitely not be high. Let's take a look at other fighter planes first."

Otowa flicked lightly in the air a few times, and the content in the holographic projection changed.

It is precisely three BF5.3s occupying the 109 position of the German series, the models are G-10, G-14 and K-4.

原先预定安装1800马力DB605D的G-10因为发动机交付的延误而推迟生产，所以紧跟在G-6以后生产的，是仍使用1475马力DB605A的Bf109G-14。

Previously, the research and development of new models was mainly in the charge of the factory, and each design bureau did its own thing; while the fighter jets on the production line had to inherit all the advantages of the past, they had to be ready to accept new improvements at any time, which resulted in a waste of manpower and raw materials, and also caused slow production speed.In order to rectify this chaotic situation, Germany established a special fighter supervision department (JaderStab), which is responsible for coordinating and solving all bottlenecks and problems in production to obtain maximum output.The first job of this department is to standardize the Bf109G. Except for a few G-14s that were produced early, all future ones will use an increased vertical tail, an extended horizontal tail fin and a new canopy. The tires and wheels have also been standardized. (Some later production models had wider front wheels), and the generator cooling ports and enlarged oil pump cover used on the previous G-5 and G-6 tropical models also became standard equipment on the G-14.

In terms of performance, the G-14 is not as good as the Bf109G-10 and Bf109K produced in the later period, but its output is the largest. By the end of the war, a total of JG1, JG3, JG7, JG11, JG27, JG53 and JG300 were equipped with this fighter .

The K series is another attempt by the Fighter Supervision Department to standardize the production of Bf109. Previously, due to the delay in the delivery of the DB605D engine, the improvements to the G-10 and G-14 were carried out at the same time. The two later models were actually in addition to the engine. There is no big difference.The Bf109K inherits their common characteristics and has made some improvements.

In appearance, the K is very similar to the G-10, both use widened front wheels, and the upper part of the wing has a protrusion of the landing gear well.But inside the fuselage, the FuG10ZY radio station of the G-16 is installed on the left side of the rear. K moved it forward and raised it a certain distance, closer to the cockpit, and the radio guide ring also moved forward a section of skin. The G-10's tail gear is generally fixed, while the K's can be stowed.Both have tail gear hatches, and the late G-10 and K have rudder balance plates.

The K equipment unit was already in October 1944, and the war was coming to an end, so its models were not as dazzling as the G series, mainly K-10 and K-2.The former uses a DB4Ascm engine, while the latter uses a DB605Dc engine with a take-off power of 605hp and an additional GM-2 system.Only K-000 was put into actual combat.

火力方面，这三架BF109机枪固定是两挺13mmMG131，航炮则是可选30mmMK108和20mmMG151/20。

But Otowa will definitely not choose a short-barreled low-velocity gun like the MK108. What's the use of having a large lethality?If the trajectory is not good, it can only be used to dismantle bombers.

除了这些，这三架BF109还能在机翼下挂载R5套件（两门30mmMK108机炮），以及R6套件（两门20mmMG151/20机炮）

"Although the operability of these three German BF109s is much worse than that of the F-types we flew before, with the increase in engine power, the climbing performance has made a big leap. Climb at a fast speed and seize a favorable position."

"However, the problem of operability still exists. The three BF109s have a good engine, but the maneuverability at high speed is not good. After all, the BF109 is still a light fighter."

Mei Xiang shook her head, she didn't seem optimistic about the three fighters.

Even though there has been a lot of weight gain, the weight of BF109K-4 is still only 2.8 tons, and the situation of high-speed locking of the rudder still exists.

"Let's keep it as an option first, let's see other fighters."

If possible, Otoyu would still choose a fighter that has no obvious weaknesses, and it would be too easy to be targeted if he took a slanted sword.
