Bf 109 IRL

The Bf 109 in real life.

The Messerschmitt Bf 109, often called the Me 109, was a German World War II Luftwaffe fighter aircraft designed by Willy Messerschmitt and Robert Lusser during the early to mid 1930s.

The Bf 109 appears in Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield V. A stylized Bf 109 appears in Battlefield Heroes as the National Plane.

Battlefield 1942


The Bf 109 is a fighter featured in Battlefield 1942 issued to the Wehrmacht, Afrika Korps ,German Elite Forces and Royal Italian Army. It has space for one player, who pilots the aircraft. It has two weapons available, its machine guns with 900 rounds of ammunition, and single bombs, with 15 units available.

As with other fighter aircraft, the Bf 109 main role is mostly to support ground troops and to hunt enemy fighters and bombers. Its machine guns are very effective against lighter targets, such as aircraft and cars, and its single bomb can aid greatly in destroying enemy armor.

A bomb is also efficient against emplacements, as a single well-placed bomb can destroy any anti-aircraft gun, defgun or heavy machine gun position. The Bf 109 is especially fast and maneuverable, which makes it the optimal choice for dogfighting compared to other allied craft.

The Bf 109 prime weakness is its weak armor. Anti-aircraft guns rip through it in just a few shots. The Bf 109 requires a certain degree of skill to use effectively.

It is a direct equivalent to the Red Army's Yak-9, British Army's Spitfire and the US Army's P-51.

Battlefield V

The Bf 109 is a vehicle featured in Battlefield V, and can be seen in the Battlefield 5 Official Reveal Trailer. It is the primary single seat fighter of Germany.

Singleplayer

During the prologue My Country Calling, a Bf 109 strafes the Free French Forces in Tunisia in 1942, while the player controls one as Yellow-Seven over Germany in 1943. Enemy Bf 109s are encountered during Under No Flag and Tirailleur, and in the former must be shot down as part of the mission.

Multiplayer

Two variants of the aircraft appear in the multiplayer, the Bf 109 G-2 and Bf 109 G-6. The fighter is Germany's counterpart to the United Kingdom's Spitfire.

Bf 109 G-2

"This fighter was the backbone of the Luftwaffe. The Germans first deployed it in Spain, and it would go on to see combat throughout World War II. The G-2 entered production in May, 1942."

— In-game description

The G-2 variant of the Bf 109 is unlocked by default, and is initially armed with four 7.92mm machine guns. This multirole version has light armament at first, but can be diversified into either the ground attack or interception role through specializations. For the former, 50kg bombs, Pineapple Wrench and Reinforced Wings allow it to survive bombing runs under fire, while the latter niche is augmented by the improved armament of 20mm cannons and the Radar Package.


Bf 109 G-6

"In 1943 the Germans introduced the Bf109 G-6. It had upgraded, heavier machine guns, which made it popular with the pilots. Almost 12,000 were built, well into 1944."

— In-game description

The G-6 variant is unlocked at rank 16, and comes equipped with two MG 131 13mm heavy machine guns and a secondary MG 151 20mm autocannon. The G-6 is focused more towards air superiority, with heavier weapons to tackle higher health bombers, and specializations such as High Altitude Package and Nitrous to boost survivability while dogfighting.
