Do anyone have a newer version of this chart, and/or information about the availability date of the Me109K-6?

Oh and by the way, the "Bf 109 Late" and "Bf 109H" parts (and a/c) could be more accurately named "Me 109" and "Me 109H". This change in name and designation was for the same reason the 'FW 152' type earned the 'FW Ta152' name to honor Kurt Tank.

Forgot to ask, if someone have data on the non-listed category of altitude performance. Supposedly there's a low /med /hi factor in the performance data for each a/c. Does anyone have this?

It is just the extra cannons version of the Bf109K-4, similar to the Bf109G-6 and G-6/R-6. It is not specifically listed as a high-altitude plane.

Luftwaffe kept the original designation of the machines. Only in rare cases the did it.

Bf 109 was an original design of the Bayrische Flugzeugwerke (so it has the designation Bf), and this does mean it kept this as long as it was in production (Bf-109, Bf-110).
The designation Me was used for new models that where designed after Messerschmitt took over Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (Me-21, Me-410, Me-262 and a lot more).

The same for Focke-Wulf, there was no renaming of the entire FW 190 line.
You are right with the Ta-152, it also applies to the Ta-154 and other machines not in the game.

I have never seen the designation 'FW Ta152', this line was always called Ta-152, possibly this does me that it was produced by the Focke Wulf company.

Bf 109 K-4 and Bf 109 K-6
The K-6 is not a field conversion, even if it is treated this way in the game. In reallity this machine has differen wings and a strengthened landing gear. This was required to deal with the greater size and load of the MK 108 that was built in the wing and not attached to it in an external 'Waffenbehaelter' like the MK 151/20 in WB151 used for the Bf 109 G-6/R6.
