I read where the G model was too heavy to engage either of the two as it was designed to shoot down bombers. Does this account for the high losses when the Luftwaffe still had capable pilots?

Hello
also in many ways your right, the ME 109s Gs under wing gun pods (GUNBOOT) reduced speed by 15-20 mph..ME 109s Gs-top speed was 380 mph in combat,but in a turnin combat fight too 355 mph true speed./mustangs top speed was 440, but say 430 in turning fights...
The Luftwaffe boys considered the JUG-P47 a leathal plane..as to the P51
I think the best was the K-7..but that's my Guess....
