Re: Messerschmitt 109 Design Problems
I guess my point is that the added weight to the wing structure would be more than compensated by the additional speed over gun gondola Bf-109s.
While the Germans did try to specialize, AKA the high Altitude Escort Staffel which always flew Bf-109s, it would have been better for the type of war they were fighting to use standardized Bf-109s with interior guns. Plus, any reinforcement to the Bf-109 wing would not be a bad thing (see BAlthasar JG-2)
asfar as the other two, it would have helped a great deal.
Oh well, the Luftwaffe probably thought the He-177 was the weapon that would win the war...Too bad they did not assign those resources towards Bf-109 improvements.
