Title: Bf-109T
Post by: Wildcat1 on September 14, 2010, 04:14:45 PM
this was basically a 109E configured as a carrier aircraft. it was lighter, had carrier landing gear, and a tailhook, and the same armament as the E

of course, the Toni never saw service as a carrier aircraft, but 60 aircraft, stripped of carrier landing gear and tailhooks, served with JG.77 and later JG.11 from 1941-1944

it did see combat in squadron strength, but only as a land version, which makes me wonder if we could get the cv version (the T-1).

it has superior acceleration compared to the E, and has a short take-off length. unfortunately, the only reliable sources are modeling sites, so this is the best i found:

Also, if am not mistaken, it was credited with the first aerial kill in a 109

No.

Without the carrier gear it was essentially a 109E-4 or possibly E-7 (depending on the engine setup, I can't remember the details).

Why ask for a plane that never was, in a role it was never used, when we don't even have the basic plane it's a clone of?


Just wish for the E-7, silly!!

Yes.  Something that we will not see it's likes on AH.

Yes, if i am not mistaken, the 109-T was the first to shoot down a B-17.  Somebody correct me if i am wrong on that.

The de-navalized 109Ts went to Norway.  I believe you are correct in that it was a 109T-2 of JG77 that shot down an RAF B17C of 90 Squadron on September 8, 1941.

So as soon as we get the B17C, then we can add the 109T for historical accuracy :)

If i'm not mistaken,
The German's had a aircraft carrier for 30 mins...
before the english showed up and sunk it..

So to be historically correct we can have the 109t,
It just can't up off a CV...

I LOVE damninteresting.com! That being said, are we talking about 109's in general, or during WWII itself? Germany tested the 109 in the the Spanish civil war. That was were they became battle-hardened.

"The first Bf 109As saw service in the Spanish Civil War. By September 1939, the Bf 109 became the mainstay fighter of the Luftwaffe by World War II, replacing the biplane fighters, and was instrumental in gaining air superiority for the Wehrmacht during the Blitzkrieg."

Just for the record, no 109T was in Ethopia.   Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 and Savoia-Marchetti SM.81 bombers and Fiat CR-42 were your "best aircraft" the Regia Aeronautica (not the Germans) had.  

On to the Bf-109 T-2 and T-2/B

The three main differences were the arrester hook, catapult fittings and the addition of 1.18 meters of "wingspan".   The T-2's were technically similar to the E-7/N's (the T-2 had the DB601 N engine), except the wingspan increase Patin remote compass and special night flying lights (for the intended carrier landings).   T-2/B's had three attachment points on the ailerons, as opposed to the "standard" two for the Emils.  

Also, only 79 T-2's and T-2/B's were made in total.   They were then de-navalized (as someone else stated previously), sent to Norway, then on to assist in the BoB.

As I have asked in each of those threads, so shall I ask here.  Why?  Why do we need the Bf109G-10?  It fills no gap.  The Bf109G-6/AS or Bf109G-14/AS would be a great addition, but the Bf109G-10, no.  It came later than the Bf109K-4.

The G-10 does not fill any void.   As others have stated previously, the G-6A/S or G-14A/S would be preferred.

109F in the B of B?  Which B of B are we talking about?  109E4 that we have covers the B of B just fine thanks.  109E7 would post B of B and cover the North African, MTO, Russia etc bits.  It hung on as a fighter bomber for a bit after the F showed up too.

There were some tail hook versions used in Northern Scandinavia. The tail hooks allowed for a very short landing which was necessary in terrible weather. But I do not think any saw combat up there.

Yes it would be nice to have a 109 off of a boat but it's not going to happen. And krusty, the 109T would be an E-7 in comparison.

The 109T in question were the ones sent to Norway.  Modified E models.  E7 would make more sense by far in terms of Russian Front, MTO, ETO, North Africa.  That being said, we've got plenty of 109s just like we have plenty of Spits.

Other birds first if my opinion.
