Icepac, let me lit the speculation light.
The 109T was based on the emil with extended wingspan and added weight, right?

Bigger wings = more lift, but more drag too. It would be slower than the standerd Emil equipped with the same engine, right? True it would turn a bit better, but also would roll even worse. Not sure if you ever been flying an emil...
More weight = worse turn rate. The Emil is already horribly underpowered, it would only make it worse.

Sum: it would be slower than the Emil with the same engine, would roll worse and would turn about the same, possibly a bit worse. Yee haa, what an awsome addition.

Except the T2s had all the naval gear that caused the extra weight removed when the Bf 109T1s were converted to the T2 and sent to Norway.  I would imagine they'd have better slow speed handling characteristics over the E-1.

You've obviously not read enough on the variant to discuss it properly.

Naval equipment was removed and you ignore the other differences.

You made no point so that just leaves your pathetic attempt at an insult.

Im sorry man. It must be a real pathetic insult, considering it isnt... just some (wrong) speculation.
