The Best Bf - 109 Variant ?

Soren · Jun 20, 2005

Imagine what a B-17 bomber being hit by a 5cm cannon would look li ke...

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Jun 20, 2005

I would hate to be the crew on the inside getting hit by it. One good thing about it, you would not feel anything.

even a B-17 wouldn't make it back from a few hits from a 5cm.......

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Jun 20, 2005

Not much will.

Progressive development:

BF-109 V-50.

BF-109 V-54

BF-109 V-55

Me-309B

This last one used the Me-262 tail and cockpit.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Jun 21, 2005

Well the Me-309 was proven crap. The Bf-109G outturned it anyday. As for the V-50's and V-55's I dont know much about them so I can not comment.

Well it would take more hits from it than a lanc would

And what makes you think a B-17 wouldnt survive it? If one survived a whole plane flying through its tail section a 50mm is all in a days work!

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Jun 21, 2005

Good point though. The B-17 could take some damage but the 5cm could also do a whole lot.

The Bf-109 was one of the best T&B fighters of WW2, so the fact that the Me-309 was outturned by one doesnt really prove much... However I do agree the Bf-109 was the better of the two.

The Bf-109G outperforming the Me-309 and the Fw-190 led to the cancellation of the Me-309.

Yes, exactly.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Jun 21, 2005

I still think she was a beautiful aircraft though.

Indeed !.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Jun 21, 2005

I also think the Me-609 project would have been interesting.

The BF 109 was a far better choice, but the Me-609 was interesting yes, I just doubt it would've been a succes.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Jun 21, 2005

I certainly dont think it would have been a sucess but it would have been very interesting. I sometimes wonder why they just did not design an aircraft outright like the P-38.

cheddar cheese · Jun 22, 2005

They had the Fw-189!

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Jun 23, 2005

Not the same.

cheddar cheese · Jun 23, 2005

I know

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Jun 23, 2005

Imagine trying to use one as a P-38 type aircraft.
