109 on CV's

[Debrody]

Sorry Shemp, eve tho i would LOVE to fly a sea 109, i give it a -1.
The Graf Zeppelin was almost completed in '41 then they took a break in the construction. When they could finally complete it, it could leave the harbour couse of the red navy. It was captured and sunk by the russians.
The 109T was an emil modifyed for carryer operations (they thought the G.Z. will be operational in '41, and modifyed the current 109). I dont have much info about it, but it seen combat.

The 109T was most similar to a 109E-7 in actual performance. The only real difference would be the longer wingtips. This would make it roll worse and be more susceptible to G-forces ripping wings off (example: Ta152 in-game), but it would have a better turn radius (maybe) and better lift at higher alts (maybe).

Overall a non-entity for the Luftwaffe's planeset. We would be much better off with an E-7 or an E-7Z or an E-7N.


Just.... not on a cv.

However, if I recall correctly, the 109-T scored the 1st B-17 kill of the war.

How could anything roll worse than a 109E? It so , it wouldnt roll at all!  Why is the 109E such a god-awful roller anyway?  Anybody know?

In the AvA we do sometimes run "what if?" scenarios. For the past week, it was what if Germany had finished and deployed a carrier.

We have to fudge such a set up and we don't have tailhooks.

As for the wish, I'm neutral.

Hes saying the 109's flip and stall quirks.  I don't think there is much substance to that either but more so than a spit perhaps.

He is?

Germans Had no carriers.They had plans to build a Zepplin Aircraft carrier but that got toasted!

[AWwrgwy]

I meant taking a cargo ship and converting it into an aircraft carrier. You would have to remove all the cargo and build a flight deck on it.
Unfortunately I could not find a good picture.

Ah ha.

You're slightly confused.

The Cassiblanca class CVE built on converted Liberty Ship hulls. They were also known as Kaiser Carriers for their builder, Kaiser Steel of Vancouver, Washington.



Kaiser = U.S. Ship building company. Kaiser ≠ Emperor of Germany.

I don't think that I'm confusing it with the Kaiser class, because this is the first time I hear of that class of ships.

There is a high possibility that I'm just wrong     (perhaps my source was incorrect)
