Le Sigh..

Sorry Latrobe, but Arlo and his backup singer Karnak say we can't have it because it's far too silly.
It is basically the same as asking for the YP-80 so the USA can have a jet, even though they didn't.

Well, since silliness goes on in the main arena and such then its a perfectly
decent request (or so I've been told).  :D

I'm not sure the 109T would see much air time in a 'what if' arena, though,
what with the F8B, (X)F5U-1, DeHavilland Hornet, Do 335, Douglas Skyraider,
Fiat G.56, P-75, F7F, F8F and that (Y)P-80.

Not quite considering that as I have said before it was a real aircraft that saw service. Some of them were at one time fitted with carrier landing equipment, and were still capable of having the same equipment mounted again if the need had ever arisen.

In other words: Hypothetical "what if" arena.

As far as i am aware no fighter in AH is available in a pure prototype configuration only. All did see service and combat with the equipment they have in the MA. The 109T did never ever use it's naval equipment operationally, ever. It was a pure test version, just like the torpedo carrying 190's. Which were also "real aircraft" which saw service. ;)

Basically, they want it because they want it. No amount of logical discourse can make
them not want it. Well, they can want it, I say.  :D

It's kinda like wanting:
