Re: Me109G with downvard firing Mk108 in tail?
Hello Ernst!
I agree with Marcel. In addition: if your assumption of a downward firing gun results from the word "Abfeuer" there is another solution: this term simply means "to fire" in the sense of starting the electrically controlled firing. A round goes off after activating this "Schütz"... As far as I know there is neither a military use for a downward firing MK108 in the Bf109 nor the space for mounting it. The only mounting positions were - the engine position, - underwing gondolas or - the internal mounting in the wings which was developed for the projected Bf109K-6. Center of gravity considerations will ruel out a position in the rear fuselage too. The MK108 and especially it's ammunition was rather heavy. Best regards and concratulations to your project!
