Re: Bf 109G armament options.
Establishing how many Bf 109 Gs were equipped with the MK 108 versus the MG 151/20 would be a very tedious and time-consuming exercise, so it is unlikely you will find this sort of data in-print. In addition, I can't recall any respected author claiming aircraft with the larger caliber weapon would have been restricted in their choice of targets. But it is common knowledge many experienced pilots found the MK 108's blinding muzzel flash to be very distracting; especially in evening or night ops. Fighter units took what they were issued and it was up to their commanders to make the best use of their hardware vis-a-vis mission and choice to targets.
