My vote...
Graff Zep?     NO!!!

109s and Stuka from carrier?  Hmmmm, maybe... The modified planes did exist...
But I seriously doubt if they ever flew from CV operationally... Or even trained for it...
Never read anything about their pilots preparations, or training for this role...

I think the squadron strength rule would probably apply here again?

Well the 109T obviously deserves inclusion at some time.  Carrier duty though?  I will leave that to the AH braniacs to figure out.
Why?  They were extremely rare and functionally just a Bf109E.

At some time...  As far as why?  Let the 109 officianaods argue this point.  It does meet inclusion specs right?  If it does then it should be included at some time...

I'd put it at even lower priority than the Meteor Mk III, and that is saying something.

Only Bf109 that is urgently needed is a Bf109G-6AS or Bf109G-14AS.

Because the Me 109T is virtually the same as the E-1, with some minor modifications like an arresting hook, a device on the landing gear to allow for catapult launches and the wings increased by two feet to allow better lift when landing and taking off.  Performance wise, it was virtually identicle to that of the E-4, the varient we have in AH.

In addition, only a total of 70 were made and after the Graf Zepplin was cancelled, the Me 109Ts were converted back to regular fighters.

The Ju87C-1 was equipped with a device hooked up to the landing gear to allow catapult launches from the carrier.  Supposedly wasn't difficult at all to take off from a carrier.
