Hi Kurfürst,
What surprises me (most) in this case is using "Jabos" in a fighter unit and not within a Schlacht- or Schnellkampf-unit. Of course fighter units made ground attack sorties, but as you stated these subversions (G-6/R1 etc) were "JaboRei". This meant (IIRC) that they carried two drop tanks under the wings in addition to the SC250 under the fuselage. I neither knew that thise subversions were more than just prototypes, nor that they were intended for "standard" day fighter units.
But of course, there seems to be nothing impossible with the 109

Greetings
Ralph
