Up till the Normandy landing the air war in the west was little more than a sideshow to the huge bloody war in the east. It is only natural that the kill tallies reflect this fact.

otto take the brown shirt off and step away from the beer  you have had 1 to many.

The germans had no need for a long range escort?!!!??
Tell that to the 109 pilots that had to ditch in the channel.
Geee there is you need for a long range escort rite there . How about a medium range escort even.

They fixed that by adding drop tanks. You know, like the ones the P-51 needed to get anywhere far.

Sure what ever you say Otto, aka Fw190fan.

Sept-Dec 1943

West - losses - 5153

East - losses - 1736

Jan-May 1944

West - losses - 10,745

East - losses - 3214

Yes for sure some sideshow with the LW suffering 75% (Sept-Dec 43) and 77% (Jan-May44) of their total losses in the West. Note that this was all before D-Day.


You need to improve your a/c recognition skills. It was the P-47, not the P-51, that needed drop tanks to get anywhere far. The 109 could not even match the range of the Spitfire.

Fw190fan? I'm a 109/262 fan. (or isn't that obvious?)

Without drop tanks the P-51's operational range was limited to France.





Bf109G-2 R1 and R2 variants had range to spare. This R1 long-range fighter-bomber also carried a 500kg bomb. The G-2 R1/R2 had a range that rivaled that of any allied fighter, dwarfing the Spit's range.






If the Germans were to find themselves in need of a long range escort fighter they already had a solution. Fact is, the Germans didn't need a long range fighter except for very specialized tasks such as reconnaissance. For those tasks they HAD long range versions of the 109 and 190.

Before the Normandy landings the war in the west WAS a sideshow to the war in the east. How many soldiers got killed on the eastern front in that same timeline? The war was won on the ground ... in the east.

Yep, OttoJ's point is valid on the long range possibility for the 109/190. It was never needed for them, that is.

Besides, the 109F, G-K had a range with a single droptank of 1000-1200 miles. Someone should tell me why more would be required. They never needed to escort bombers from GB to Berlin...

"I'm always amazed when I read the "uber 109" threads. "

Über 109 threads usually try to state that 109 was competitive with aircraft of the same era, not obsolete cr4p.
:)

"Personally I don't think the 109 was sucessful at all,didn't the German lost the war ?"

Eh? So the 109 could have won it if it were a better plane?
:p

 "The germans lack of vision in this regard is probably the single greatest reason they lost the war."

Heh, this sounds like that outdated "small wingloading" line.
I'm sure overwhelming numers of opponents had nothing to do with Germany losing the war... I'd point that responsibility to one person with funny moustache...
:D


Ed: The Jumo engined 109 was called a "Mule" by Israelis and it was very much disliked by its pilots because of bad handling qualities.

Oh yes the Avias were deathtraps. Says a lot for the skill of the Israeli pilots that they manage to score victories in them.

We are taking about airplanes Otto.:rolleyes: I don't see any kill tallies for the number of Ivan foot solders. Why do you hide your other nick? Fw190fan was, and most likely still is, Barbi's little lapdog. There is a simularity between you and him.

The P-47 was limited to the French/German border. The P-51 had a range of almost 1000mi on internal fuel at max cruise speed. This was 3 times the range of the 109 at max cruise speed. This P-51 range, with internal fuel, is almost the same as the 109 with d/t at most economical speed. Barbi has you brainwashed.

The Fw190 with wing drop tanks was a female dog to fly and you want us to believe the 109 was not as well. Nice report in Andrew Arthy's Fw190s in Africa book.


Show me that the 109 had greater range than the Spit Kurfy. The range you state is for most economical speed. On internal fuel, the 109 could do just over 600mi at most economical speed while the Spitfire could do over 800 mi at most economcal speed.

Really, I`ve got 434-450 miles for the mid/latewar Spits, 615-725 miles for the 109 on eco cruise.
