Released to combat early 1944 during the Second World War, the Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6/AS fighter had the Daimler-Benz 605 engine fitted with a larger supercharger for improved performance at high altitudes. Methanol/Water (MW 50) injection kits could also be installed for improved performance at low/medium altitudes. Wikipedia reports the maximum high altitude speed of the G-6/AS was 640 km/h (391 mph) at 6,600 m (21,650 ft).

I./JG3 Pilot Logbook February 8, 1944, Eastern Front.
Mission: III Panzer has failed to relieve our troops trapped in Korsun. Intercept ground attack aircraft to protect Panzer III's disengagement from the Korsun pocket. Good luck!!
Debrief: Major 'K' downs 8 Soviet aircraft on the Eastern Front. Major 'K' has 238 career air victories and two ground vehicles destroyed. Today he is awarded the Diamonds to his Knights Cross!! Diamonds were only awarded 21 times during World War 2.

These kills were made during one mission created by the Pat Wilson Campaign Generator using the '1944 Eastern Front map' for a January 1944 German 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 WW2 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 'veteran' with a 40% 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. It's closer to 'Hurt Me Plenty/Hardcore' level but not quite 'Nightmare!'.
