In the '1.08 - Planes & Ladders' update the German faction receives a new Medium Fighter plane: The Messerschmitt Bf109D-1
Armed with a 20mm cannon firing through the propeller hub and two 7.92mm machineguns the Bf 109D-1 is formidable against early war aircraft. What it lacks in engine power it more than makes up for in firepower.
How do I get one?
In the '1.08 - Planes & Ladders' update this wonderful vehicle will become a part of the ever-expanding arsenal for the German faction! The Bf109D-1 unlocks at the Dog Fight Ribbon grade 5, where the Bf109E-4 used to be. The Bf109E-4 is moved to grade 7.

Isn't it very difficult to fly planes?
In the 1.03 - Wings of War update earlier this year, we introduced two new flight control modes as well as two additional throttle controls making it much easier to get started flying. Take a look at this news-post and video to see more about the new flight controls.
Historical Facts
