Also, 109s did not snap roll on stalling. The plane gave very clear warning when approaching stall and the wing slats enhanced slow speed flying qualities, AND eliminated sudden snaps to either side.
Okay. several things:
Yes, the T was a carrier, but it was modified. Es, Fs, Gs, and Ks dont have the nescesarry parts (hooks and a lengthened wings) to land on carriers.
No, a 109 K is not meant for carrier landings, but YES, it can be done without moderate damage to the airframe.
No, it doesnt snap-roll when i dont throttle up, it DOES nose down and to the left, and wont recover. When slowly throttling up it DOES snap-roll left, and YES i DO know that the torque of the engine causes that.
Maybe HTC needs to look at the 109 flight modelling. It may be the way i fly, or it may be the models. I dont know.
Also, i think a T would be a nice addition, so Deutschland can get it's foot in the door as far as carrier warfare. I know we didnt have any CVs commisioned, but we DID have the aircraft!
