My argument was that a proper BF 109-G series, as outlined in the rest of my comment which you have yet to answer to, would have more chance at being bought than the FW 190 A8. It can be used in any scenario from late 1943 onwards, with performance easily comparable to the Mustang.

I really hope I did not misunderstood this, but I do think that with an appropriate G-model 109 people will buy it, just like people have bought the FW 190 A8 when there´s the better Fw 190-D9 available. Especially once one considers that the G-10 is essentially a K4 with an external tailwheel and no wheeldoor covers. The G14/AS is a G10 with a slightly weaker engine. The G14 is slightly faster at low altitudes but slower on higher altitudes than the /AS variant. The G6 and/or the G6/AS variants are what the average German pilot flew during D-Day. Giving the player the flexibility to actually play the way they want to, with little downside. If we take the approximate estimates from Messerschmitt in their Leistungzusammenstellung Me 109 G from the 14.1.44, it says on Page 21-22 that the "Erhöhter ausgefahrener Sporn" (higher extended [tailwheel] strut) causes a loss of about 17 kph in top speed, whereas the "Fahrwerk Restabdeckung" (literally: cover of remaining landing gear; i.e. wheeldoor covers) causes about +10kph in speed. Applying these to the K4 top speed of 595-608 kph at SL (depending on 605DB or 605 DC engine was used) means a top speed at SL of about 568-581 for the G10 (again depending on the engine that´s used). This compares favourably to the P51D´s 365 mph (589 kph?) at SL. The customer would have more options than with the K4, be competitive in the current game meta and have the flexibility to fly in actually historically accurate scenarios.

Would be pretty cool to see a 109 variant that was actually flown in significant numbers during the portrayed timeframe. I.e. G6, G14, G10. IMO the smartest move would be to release a BF109 G module with a baseline 1944 G6, so a version with a DB605A, MG131 and MG151/20, Erlaa Haube, Galland Panzer and the taller vertical stabiliser as standard, with options to add MG151/20 Gondolas, the MK108, DB605AM, DB605 AS with corresponding engine cowling, DB605 ASM with corresponding engine cowling and DB605DB/DC engine with the corresponding larger oil cooler and engine cowling. This would enable us to fly a wide variety of historically accurate scenarios over a wide timeframe, as the G6 was the baseline for basically any subsequent non-K 109 variant. It could serve as the G6, G6/AS, G14, G14/AS and G10.
