Did Bf109G's use Gunpods during Kursk?

[George Hopp]

Your similar stories are wrong. You should compare the Hungarians to the Croats, Slovaks and Romanians, who all flew with G's in first half of 1943, when the Hungarians got still old, crap F-4's.

Were the 109Gs in early 1943 actually better than the 109F-4s? As I recall, the DB 605As were, relatively speaking, garbage, at this time; and the pilots probably had a better chance of surviving with the DB 601E than with the DB 605A.
