Title: Add BF109T Carrier model?
Post by: DocRoe on March 21, 2007, 01:57:19 PM
Can we get the 109 Carrier variant please? we need some german planes for the carriers. Here is some info from a site i found.



With a total production run of nearly 35,000 machines, the Bf 109 filled many roles with various air forces. Perhaps the most unique variant of all was the Bf 109T- a shipboard fighter designed to fly from the deck of the never-completed carrier Graf Zeppelin. With a total of only 80 Bf 109T built, this version of the famous Messerschmitt fighter had remarkable longevity, serving from their completion in 1941 until at least 1944. A few possibly survived until 1945.

This variant was originally equipped with an arrestor hook, catapult attachments, and a more robust tailwheel to withstand the rigors of carrier operations. The most obvious physical difference were the extended wingtips. These increased the wingspan from 32’ 4.5" on the standard Bf 109E series to 36’ 4.25" on the "Toni". This longer wing had a spoiler on the top of the wing to help reduce landing speed, as well as longer leading edge slats and ailerons




please consider this and i think people would be drawn to carriers and carriers would be used more often if you added this plane in the game.


Thank you

Doc

They never flew off of carriers. Those few that were made (12, I think??) had the gear removed and were forced into service where they were most desperately needed.

Very very few were used in combat. If anything I think most were dumped on training schools, where aircraft were written off rather quickly (training, student pilots, crashes, etc).

or is it fine here? i just didnt really think and i thought it might be cool in aircraft section...

No German aircraft ever operated off of a carrier.  As such, German aircraft should not operate off of CVs in AH.

"With a total of only 80 Bf 109T built,"

from the paragraph
but still they did go into combat and they made it through most of the war...


and even if you guys added it but without the Ability to take off from a carrier that would be cool.

What's the point of that, then?  Either way, this is a stupid idea.  Its impact on the war was nothing, its probability of being encountered by Allied pilots was zilch, and I really don't think eighty were produced, either.  This is even a weaker a case than that of the Dornier 335 or Lockheed F-80.

It is functionally already in the game, sans CV gear.  It was a modified Bf109E.

At least seven were built as T-1 with carrier equipment. The other 63 were built as T-2 without carrier equipment and the T-1 "upgraded" to this standard. They were used operationally with JG77 and JG5 in Norway.
With the single T-0 built (converted E-1) this sums up to 71 aircraft of the T-series. All were built/converted by Fieseler, Kassel.

The enlarged wing should have some effect on the flying characteristics, a little better maneuverablity with slightly reduced speed (compared to the E-7/N it was based on).

Well, consider that about 80 or so Ta 152s were made, but only 12 ever got to the front line.

The 109Ts were flying when the 109Fs came out. By the time the Gs came around they were retired, bumped down to training duties. They also probably didn't perform much like the 109Gs they were training pilots to fly, so they most likely went unused much of the time.

That's my guess as to how they survived -- lack of use. They're basically 109E-7s. Even the latest of the front line jabo 109Es were pulled in 1942.

No, I am not saying it shouldn't be in the game.  I am saying it is iffy that it should be carrier enabled in the game.  It was quite rare so I am not sure how needed it is though.

I for one would love to see a German carrier plane.

The Question I have is what capability do the 109T have? It may have been a 109E varient but it would have weighed more and had more drag.

I say if it can be done by AH (relatively easily) and it saw combat in WW2 then let's have it. It would make a nice target in carrier ops.

They did not see combat.

I suppose we should include the carrier-equipped P-38, eh.  One was made, and it worked just fine (though storing it was another story).  And the P-38 fitted to carry two torpedoes, also ... After all, the P-38 saw combat, so logically we should include them, right?

Your "logic" stinks.  It's like talking to a lawyer or a "Jehova's Witness."

Post by: Krusty on March 21, 2007, 06:05:34 PM
Benny, the 109Ts did see combat. In a limitd capacity. Just not from CVs. Germany had no carriers in WW2. I agree with you, though. We shouldn't see them added to AH.
Title: Add BF109T Carrier model?
Post by: Benny Moore on March 21, 2007, 06:23:30 PM
Any Me-109T that saw combat was not equipped for taking off of carriers, as Denniss pointed out, so no carrier-equipped Messerschmitt saw combat.  Moreover, no carrier-based German fighter saw combat.  You can look for loopholes all day, but the carrier Me-109 never saw combat, just as the carrier P-38 never saw combat.  A carrier 109 makes as much sense as the carrier P-38.

An argument for a non-carrier-equipped 109T makes ever so slighly more sense, but it's still pretty stupid.  Though they may have seen combat,  it was such limited numbers and was no better than the Emil.  So, why?

A carrier enabled 109T would be great for what-if scenarios and campaigns. The plane existed and was flown operationally. How many were made is irrelevant. That the carrier was never finished is irrelevant. This is a game.

Well, both actually. The Hurricat could be launched from another ship in the TG for instance. That would be cool ;)
Since many sea Hurricanes were basically Mk I's and Mk IIC's, the work for HTC would be minimal, - but what a pain, damned HurriC's frrom a CV!
The Hurricats also bring one to MAC's (Merchant Aircraft Carriers), which had a remarkably fine career. Those might open the doors to different TG's, - small TG's with a MAC? Basically, they were intended to defend from FW's and Subs, and one day there will be subs in AH....

DocRoe - nothing to stop you landing any of the 109s on a carrier in the game.  At least then you will get a feel for half the experience of something that never happened.
Why do you want a cv based 109? We've got plenty of capable planes already - I don't see it filling a gap. I'd have to vote no on this one.

Well if we assume HTC have limited resources ie our subscriptions, then I think if more carrier based planes were to be introduced there are better candidates than a plane that was never used as a carrier based plane - see above lists.
If HTC have more money & time than they know what to do with then fine let's have every plane that ever flew in WW2.
I would vote "no" cos I'd rather see my money spent on something else.
Just my humble opinion.

F-15 or X-Wing weren’t part of WWII as you say, but the 109T was. Your comparison is silly.

I agree that there are other planes and vehicle that should be added first, but that doesn’t mean the 109T shouldn’t be on the list. There is a finite number of planes used in WWII.

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.

If Pyro et al insists on historical combat configuration by removing the hook and catapult gear a 109T-2 will still be welcome for scenarios.  I find it silly that you people “refuse” to add this plane since I have flown 109F’s and 109G’s off carriers in campaigns. ALL the planes Karnak listed will be hangar queens; ALL the important MA planes have already been modeled. The only … ONLY … purpose these planes will have in the game is in historical and dynamic scenarios and campaigns, and in dynamic campaigns a German carrier has popped up several times.

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.

And Pyro et a do insist on historical usage, last I heard.

There are absolutely gobs of aircraft, including other Bf109s, that should have higher priority than the Bf109T.

That is what you are missing and attacking us for.

It was more common than the Ta152, and served for almost the entire war. Carrier 109’s have been used numerous times in campaigns.

Yup, and a T-2 will still be welcomed. It will still be a better match for a T-1 than the E or F in campaigns.

CV plane without the CV equipment.

You then start with the derogatory attack remark.

Sad.


On topic
Should the 109t be added ?
Sure, bottom of the list though.

Should it be available off the cv in the MA?
Nope never did so in a combat environment.
B-25 has more right to, than the 109T.

Good for "what if" scenario's?
Probably, but after the "Operation Downfall" scenario fiasco. What ifs are pointless. IMHO

If Pyro et al insists on historical combat configuration by removing the hook and catapult gear a 109T-2 will still be welcome for scenarios.  I find it silly that you people “refuse” to add this plane since I have flown 109F’s and 109G’s off carriers in campaigns. ALL the planes Karnak listed will be hangar queens; ALL the important MA planes have already been modeled. The only … ONLY … purpose these planes will have in the game is in historical and dynamic scenarios and campaigns, and in dynamic campaigns a German carrier has popped up several times.

The obvious insinuation is that the Bf109T would be used more than these.  Particularly considering that some of them are bonafide uber-planes and would certainly not be "hangar-queens".

Where did I “back” that comment or any other in this thread for that matter? DocRoe’s comments will have to stand on their own merit. Read what I post, and unless I explicitly support another poster I will not be held responsible for their opinions. You do far too much “reading between the lines” and what you find there is your own presumptions and bias.

You're comparing the famous apples and oranges.  None of the ships you call "debatable" saw anywhere nearly as little combat use (which is none) as a carrier-equipped Me-109.  Only the Ta-152 comes even close - and I would, in fact, argue against its inclusion if it were not already in.

There are four different models of P-47 because it was the most produced American fighter, with about fifteen thousand made.  I think that puts it in fourth place for total fighter production in history, after the Me-109, Spitfire, and FW-190.

Yaks? 30.000 out of memory. The Il-2 and the La series also had enormous production numbers.
Spitfire 20.000, Hurricane some 13.000, 109 some 35.000 with the post war models (avia and hispano).
The USSR sheer numbers are funny, for AFAIK in only one year is the air more draining on the LW on the eastern front than the western/southern one, - 1943. LOL, now I'll have to find that source again...
