Just tried it myself, yeah it absolutely slaps. Damage feels about the same ish. Definitely hitting more rounds tho I guess them being hella slow and lowtier planes not being as tanky helps a lot too.
found this channel in starvation for more prop content like yours and first thing i saw is how low views Macwithgun gets compared to the value of the content, good to see you liking it either defyn ;)
The F2 is possibly my favorite 109, Br for Br. The 15mm is a flamethrower and the climb rate is astonishing, even in a full uptier facing 4.0 planes I end up in the top 5 on my team
We have to talk about your thumbnails. They are pretty boring compared to the videos themselves. You need a good eyecatching trademarked template. I'll sell you one for $7000 plus 5% royalties 🤑
Thank you for this video Mac. When I see your games with F-2, I think I'm probably being too cautious with the same plane..keeping alt or avoiding the furballs, which makes me miss a few kills maybe.
You need the mouse for this plane, I've tried it the last couple of days and the most kills I've got in a match was only 2. I've had plenty of chances for kills, but most of the time I'd put a burst into the enemy only to get a basic hit out of it ...or I'd get damage them but they'd get cleaned up by a teammate soon after. You just don't have the accuracy needed to put a long enough burst on target to get kills using a controller. Still fun to fly though and I've had really good fights with spitfires using the F2, but I prefer the 20mm 109's ( and even the E1) over this. It just was too frustrating putting a burst into an enemy only to get 25 hit points worth of damage.
I can’t remember that they’ve been buffed. I saw an old post of me in the old forum and even then did the 15mm FI-T deal more damage than the 20mm FI-T. I can only assume that something changed the way explosive shells cause fires. Since they don’t have realShatter implemented, they explode in a large sphere and the ability to set fires is just crazy high, presumably because each fragments has the same fireChance modifier.
Would you agree that this is the best Bf109 to start learning the Bf109 gamestyle for a newbie? Not the first Bf109 to start the game with since E-1 is probably one of the better general starter planes but specifically talking about the energy fighting.
I think the f-1 and f-2 are the best, yes. These earlier F models don’t turn nearly as well but are better in the vertical/energy fight. They are a good transition into the later 109s which are pure energy fighters.
