The Best Bf - 109 Variant ?

Lightning Guy · Sep 18, 2004

It's very hard to tell. The shape of the bombs are almost identical and scale is hard to make out in a picture that small.

In his avatar, if u look towards the back of the bomb, ull see a person standing there....

The Earthquake Bomb family: (from L to R) 12,000 lb Tallboy, 22,000 lb Grand Slam, 42,000 lb T-12, and the 25,000 lb SAP Samson

Bf 109G-10

Yep I would have to say one of the late G-series or the K-4

Question: Was the Me-309 close to entering service? And was it likely to be a good plane?

kiwimac · Oct 25, 2004

I really like all of the 109s from the C series onwards, favourites would have to be 'F' series, 'G' series and 'K' series (oh and the 'T' series)

AIUI there were significant problems with the 309 and the RLM decided to focus on the FW190 D series and the Ta-152 which already were superior in performance to anything promised by the 309. I may be wrong however

Pictures of Me-309

All from http://www.michas-bastelstube.de/Modelle/Me309.htm

According to http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/LRG/me309.html

The 309 was originally designed to be the definitive successor to the 109. Innovative features included a pressurized cockpit, tricycle landing gear, and a retractable radiator. However, the 309 could be out turned by the Bf 109G and was judged inferior to the Fw 190D and never reached production. The Me 609 was to be a twinned version similiar to the P-82.

I think the 309 looked damned cool though

it looks like a cross between the P-39/FW-190/Me-262.................

Erich · Oct 25, 2004

the tripod undercarriage was a failure for the Me 309.

the lancaster kicks ass · Oct 25, 2004

it does look pretty good though..................

I know where you're coming from on the P-39 and Me-262 front, but Fw-190?

the lancaster kicks ass · Oct 25, 2004

when i see that paint scheme i think of the FW-190.................

cheddar cheese · Oct 25, 2004

Hmmmmm i dont agree.

The better varient is still hard to say. What are your more looking for: performance or handling. True the K model was the fastest but I believe the G model was by far the better of the latter models. However the E model seemed to handel the best and had better flight characteristics, atleast from what I have read. Whichever model you believe, I think the Me-109 was a remarkable aircraft.

the lancaster kicks ass · Nov 10, 2004

but the later -109s had dangerously high wing loading levels............

cheddar cheese · Nov 10, 2004

I still believe the 109G was the best of all 109's.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Nov 11, 2004

I have to agree with you and I think it was the best looking one of the 2 also. It was sleek and just looked like it wanted fly through the clouds like and eagle. Some of the paint schemes they put on 109G's were just awesome looking. It was a great aircraft.

cheddar cheese · Nov 11, 2004

Yup. I think the 109K looks better than the G, and if you really wanna go detailed I think the Me-309 looked the best.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Nov 11, 2004

She deffinatly was sweet.

cheddar cheese · Nov 11, 2004

Yup, they all look good.
