Special Edition
The Bf 109 was the workhorse of the Luftwaffe fighter force, scoring more kills than any other Luftwaffe type. From its early days gaining combat experience in Legion Kondor to the closing days of World War II, the Bf 109 was continuously improved to bring more horsepower and firepower into the petite airframe. The final version to enter production before war's end was the Bf 109K.
The Bf 109K or Kurfurst was powered by the DB605D engine and while similar in capability to the Bf 109G, the Kurfurst incorporated numerous design changes internally to improve upon the deficiencies found in the Gustav. Likewise, performance improvements were also incorporated which kept the Bf 109 competitive with the latest allied fighters.
The Kurfurst's pressurized cabin and supercharged larger engine provided the aircraft with superior high altitude performance while retaining an edge at lower altitudes as well. Messerschmitt kept weight out of the aircraft to retain its agility in a dogfight.
While the Bf 109K did get produced in quantity (estimates of around 700), attrition of experienced pilots as well as simple fuel and ammunition logistics prevented the aircraft from becoming any more of a threat than it might have been.
