Bf-109L-7 ‘666’ – 1947The 109L-7, with its DB-'666' engine was considered one of the fastest propeller aircraft to have ever been built. In later decades, versions of the 666 would continue to be used as trainers for pilots, before they could move on to the new supersonic jets. Variants were later adapted for the racing circuit, due to the power of the 4000HP, 18 cylinder engine.
The '666' was also the name given to the 4 bladed propeller 'testbed' for the new engine/an aircraft used for the testing of new weapon configurations, along with a generalised nickname for the first production versions.
While the new alloys had allowed the 109L5 and L6 to be lighter than the K4 and earlier L series, with a weight closer to that of the earlIer 109B and C models, the L7 was closer in weight to the later models. This was in responce to the cannon armament of aircraft such as the B-36, Fugaku (a Japanese aircraft whose plans had been captured by the Americans) as well as the heavy cannon armament of jet fighters such as the Mig-9, which necessitated an increase in armour protection.
Armament continued to be increased, since some of the new Soviet 152 tanks had armour strong enough to withstand shots from the 46’ disruptor cannon. This led to the introduction of the new ‘Type II’ Disruptor cannon as the standard Motorkanone for the Bf-109L-7.
Other loadouts carried included MK214 gunpods, X4H and AGMSC rocket. The aircraft could also carry a recently developed, top secret weapon…….

Here is the new 109-L7 mod. The aircraft carries a secret (non-nuke weapon) that can be very powerful. The mod also folder includes a few '666' skins for that version of the L7.
There is also a 'beta' version of the L7 mod in a separate folder. This is currently a 'clone' of L7 '666', but has a separately titled 3DO folder and is a separate aircraft in the 'air.ini'. I have included the java code in the L7 beta file and it is designed to be a platform for any experiments/future developments with the L7/its 3D model if people wish to do so.
