BS

B-29
P-39
Early KIs
B25
Betty
410
111
ect ect ect

All these had a much more significance compared to the 109T.
That never flew of a CV.

Try looking up the stats on them before spouting uninformed BS.

Particularly look at the:

B6N2
B7A2 (monster plane compared to any other Japanese or American CV strike aircraft)
D4Y2
Firefly Mk I (quad Hispanos)
SBD2C
Seafire Mk III

When it came to our last full blown "what if" event (CAP), we found that all of the early 109s had favorable handling for CV operations. Granted we didn't have hooks, but the 109e and 109f subbed nicely. And the Stuka was a riot! lol.

Mr. "109T-2 = 109E-7" don't talk to me about spouting BS.

Granted the Judy or Devastator might see a little use if they can haul a lot of ord, but that's the extent of it. While the Firefly does have four cannons it is heavy and can barely manage 300 mph top speed. In reality they will see just as little use in the MA as 90% (or more) of the current plane set.

More significance in real life WWII? Yes. More significance in the MA? No … with the possible exception of the B-29 if it’s not perked.

And the 109T did fly off a CV, just not operationally. Operationally it flew off short landing strips on the tiny island of Helgoland and in Norway … where it served until 1944.

Functionally it was a Bf109E-7 as it saw its extremely limited service.  Yes, there are slight differences, but not very many and it certainly wouldn't be competitive.  It would, in short, see less use than almost my entire list, barring the TBD Devastator, Fulmar Mk I and Swordfish.

The Firefly would be a quad Hispano aircraft off a CV.  That alone would get it use.  And 316mph isn't bad for a strike aircraft.

Look at the B7A2.  The thing is sick for a CV attack plane.

And don't even pretend the Seafire L.Mk III wouldn't see gobs of use.

The D4Y2 is a CV dive bomber that can break 300mph.

The SB2C doesn't handle well, but it carries a lot of ord for a CV strike craft and has two Hispanos in the wings.

Closer to 190E-7/Z because it had GM-1. Longer wings and GM-1...it would perform best at very high altitudes.

Not a reason to get it added for a long long time, though.

... As if more people would fly the Me-109T than the P-39.

Agreement upon every bit that Karnak posted :aok
+ Sea Hurricane with quad Hispanos.

(BTW, I remember people posting against the Hurricane being added to AH (1) on the grounds that it would be a hangar queen)

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

No they served as 109T-2, and they retained the longer wings and the strengthened landing gear. The hook, catapult gear and some instrumentation were removed.

No longer a CV aircraft so your point is irrelevant.
