The Bf 109F-2 featured improved armament and a more powerful engine which gave it an edge over many Soviet aircraft but it was also tested against fierce resistance from Soviet fighter pilots and increasingly advanced aircraft such as the Yakovlev Yak-1 and the Lavochkin La-5.Hans Von Hahn who was one of the top aces of JG 3 flew the Bf 109F-2 with exceptional skill during the summer of 1941.
