So there were problems with the MK108/Bf 109 combination.

The original topic of this thread is much more interesting...
Does anyone have information on problems with the MK108 in the Bf109?
It was prone to jamming if shot at g-loads, at least until early 1945 iirc. Anything more?
PS: Does anyone have information on how big the percentage of MK108-equipped Bf109 were in 1944/45? We had a discussion at butch2k's forum on that, but that one was purely for production figures of Bf109G-6/U-4, G-10&14/U-4. There we had a rough percentag of 30 iirc.
