IL2: STURMOVIK - Bf 109 F-2 - Key Art

Nazi Germany's main fighter, the Messerschmitt Bf 109, had its roots in 1934 when the Luftwaffe outlined its requirements for a new single-engine monoplane. The first plane took to the air on May 28, 1935. The war that began in September 1939 provided ample combat experience in addition to operational experience, and in 1940 the designers began a thorough update of the Bf 109's aerodynamics to take full advantage of the engine's capabilities. The F series - nicknamed "Friedrich" - was born. With these aircraft, Luftwaffe pilots scored many aerial victories in North Africa and on the Eastern Front in 1941. With this series, Messerschmitt's fame peaked and the Bf 109F became the epitome of the ideal fighter.
