The K-4 was the definitive Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter variant of the Second World War. It has a monster engine (DB-605DC with supercharger and methanol/water injection = 2000HP), better aerodynamics (no rear wing struts, improved landing gear covers and retractable rear wheel) and improved armament (30mm cannon in spinner and 2 x 13mm MG 131s in the cowl).

I./JG27 pilot career, October 14, 1944
Mission: Lead your Staffel on contact patrol over Venray. You have permission to attack any enemy aircraft you encounter. Good luck!!
Debrief: Major 'D’ downs 15 Allied aircraft. Major 'D' has a career total of 348 aerial victories plus 7 ground vehicles destroyed.

These kills were made during one mission created by the Pat Wilson Campaign Generator using the 'Bodenplatte map' for a September 1944 Luftwaffe fighter pilot career. PWCG is a mod that generates dynamic pilot campaigns for the IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles series (Battle of Stalingrad, Battle of Moscow, Battle of Kuban, Battle of Normandy and Battle of Bodenplatte). I don't think there are any dynamic campaign generators for DCS World.

The enemy AI in a PWCG mission is randomly generated for each NPC to be either Novice, Average, Veteran or Ace. This specific pilot campaign is set to 'Elite' with over a 50% chance of any AI encountered during the mission being Ace-level. The Ace AI NPCs are deadly shots and I usually find myself KIA before I even know one is close! The gist of it is, this is NOT set to 'Hold my hand Daddy/Easy' level.
