Allow the Brewster to be able to up from a CV

[Karnak]

I still would like to see the 109T in game because it flew more combat missions than many planes currently in game.

Which planes?  I can only think of a couple of candidates, Ta152 and Me163....

[icepac]

Well..........that's two for a start.

[FLOOB]

How many missions did the 109t fly and what planes in AH flew less?

[Karnak]

Well..........that's two for a start.

You said "many".  Two is not many.

I can't think of any others the Bf109T is likely to have flown more sorties than, certainly not by much of a margin.

[JVboob]

ar234?

It definatley flew more than the mossies and 38s      combined

[icepac]

The 109t shot down the first B17 in european theater.

There were 70 built and they flew from mid 1941 to 1944.

There is a book about them that details most every sortie but I'm not buying it just to refute you.

The fact is that the plane flew more sorties than more than two planes currently in our planeset.

This doesn't mean that it should be available from CV in game but neither should the current brewster......of which 44 were delivered.

[Zimme83]

The current Brewster flew from 41-44 and had almost 1000 aerial victories. The number of planes might be low but the impact in the war was significant.

But no, it is not a cv plane.

[Ack-Ack]

The 109t shot down the first B17 in european theater.

There were 70 built and they flew from mid 1941 to 1944.

IIRC, the Bf 109T was withdrawn around 1941 and crews converted to the Bf 109E-3.

+1 on the 109T!

[Zimme83]

A denavalized 109T was pretty much a 109E. They could take off in a bit shorter distance but since the 109E rarley leave the hanger I dont see.

The 109T were put back into action in April 1943 and deployed to norway later that year. I cannot see it as an attempt to boost the numbers of fighters aviable by transfering 109T from training units to active duty. (in an remote area with low enemy activity)

[Zimme83]

And 109T cannot land on cvs either, besides a few prototypes used for testing most of 70 109T did not have equipment for carrier landing.

[icepac]

109t had 1.5 sq. meter more wing area due to the longer span, full wing length leading edge slats, longer ailerons.

Some sources credit the longer span helped high altitude operations.

The slow speed handling should be very different than any other 109 variant.
