The Bf 109 F-2 is a BR2 fighter avaliable in the German TT, and in most aspects is decent, but notably has a bad set of guns for the BR and outclassed by other planes. It is armed with two 7.92mm machine guns and a singular 15mm ‘autocannon’, which is only mildly more effective than a 12.7mm machine gun, which makes engaging enemy planes, which usually have good armor, quite tough. But to make this gun so much better, I propose to change the belt from the default one to it’s AP belt used in War Thunder, which is three AP-I(c) shells to each HEFI-T, and each AP-I(c) shell has very good penetration of 51mms @10 meters and 47mms @100 meters, but lacks any explosive filler. I think that with this belt, it would make it an interesting plane for BR2 but not being too powerful.
Additionally, the Bf 109 F-2 can mount eight Rz.65 rockets (4 on each wing). These were small air-to-air airburst rockets with 130 grams explosive mass fit onto a few types of aircraft, and while they were successful at their intended role, they saw limited use due to low production numbers. If these were added to the game, it would be an interesting secondary weapon to pair with the 50kg bombs, not very effective against infantry or tanks due to the low explosive mass (although open top tanks are good targets), but would be an interesting weapon to use against planes due to the airburst properties of the rocket.
