@Hadhock Yep. The designers used a single piece bracket to mount both the undercarriage and the engine to allow for faster production with fewer parts and less weight. It also meant that the wings could be removed without the need to put the aircraft on jacks; leaving the fuselage on its own landing gear during maintenance/repairs. A whole lot of very elegant design work went into this aircraft.
Yes, and on take off when the tail comes up. The narrow track landing gear with high engine torque between the prop and the airframe made the ground handling very tricky.
you know what would be so beautiful? If there was a bf109, spitfire, p51-mustang, mitsubishi zero, and a yak-1 all once enemies against each other flying in formation.

@robotron73 if you look the list of ww2 air aces you will get it why it was considered as the best of its time when it was made, at end Me 262 would replace it ! just type in google ww2 Air aces, and more or less only luftwaffe pilots there, and if not than pilots that had that plane ! tells it all
Define shit ??!! I agree the landing gear was an issue but the engine was superb !! What was wrong with the airframe ? The engine was fuel injected and far less tempremental than say, the Merlin. Armament was in a different league to most varients of the Spit or Hurricane, and even when they eventually got cannon they weren't as good as the 109.
@sirrah060389 If it is a original engine design back in the war it was equipted with two things. A Supercharger for maximum out put and a thing called WEP (War Emergency Power) It gave the engine a extra 50-75% power for a short period of time. The combonation of these things made for a really awesome sound plan in full throttle
Many of the piston fighter aircraft had a "war emergency power" option. On the Mustang, the pilot had to break a wire stop to engage the setting. It was only to be used for a short time (less than 5 minutes) or for extreme emergency since at that power setting the engine would be damaged or have a shortened life.
In 1938 the company Bayerische Flugzeugwerke AG (designers of the Bf 109) was reorganized as Messerschmitt AG. All new aircraft were directed to use the ME prefix. However, the Bf 109 term was still acceptable and it was common for both terms to be used during the war by the Allies and the Germans.
@erikgiles1 Read above, read a British book called Fighter etc.. By Walter Day the Brits were severely outclassed by the Germans, it was poor leadership, do not believe your own bias study the facts, not bias media, read from all angles not just one you like. German planes did everything, spits one thing, look at the real stats compare to German stats you will see, put aside your nationalistic pride and hatred. Do you think 45 nations won the war or Brits who got bombed till the last day?
@1969captainiron I must respectfully disagree with you. Britain fought off the Nazi Germans pretty much alone in the air. Had they continued on, instead of diverting to Russia, they might have won that one with much heavier losses, but there were so much internal conflicts within the Wehrmacht to where the left hand disagreed with what the right hand was doing and Hitler did not make it any easier. Without proper organisation and leadership(that which Britain had) technology can only go so far.
@1969captairon was right, Until today we study this tecnology. Just have to see de ho-229 horten, this aircraft is not of this world, The me-262, th only operational torbojet, even they experiment whit flysawcers.
the 109 was superior to the hurricane, thats why hurricanes were mostly committed against bombers during BoB with the spits allocated to fight any german fighters seeing as the spit was equal or better, depending on version. The 109 and spit played cat and mouse fighting for the best fighter spot will the 190 came out. Then of course the brits had the tempest, and USA brought in the P51. Those being the most noted fighters. Mosquito was a fine machine but it wasnt a turn fighter...
@kineticdeath a Mosquito would lose hands down to a 109 flown by an equally skilled pilot. Not even looking at the far better again FW190. The me 262 really despite its awesomeness barely counts as a discussable war machine. It saw too little action too late. if the 262 was deployed in 1943 then it would have been a key player but it and the Ar 234 are great big what if's in the true sense of history. Germany lost not because thier equipemt was inferior, but thier leadership blundered hardcore
@idontcare80 Nope , disagree , what about the Mosquito, built during the Battle of Britain but not used till later it wiped the floor when pitted against the German fighters aprat from the Jets Me 262 .
Truly a superior fighter , bomber, photo rec, night fighter , and guess what made of wood , I do agree that most of the resource was taken up to fight the Russians, but we lend leased them Hurricanes..
Funny how the Spitfire, Mustang, Me109, Fw190D and others were all powered by essentially the same engine; a huge-displacement V-12. The Germans turned it upside-down, the Allies left it right-side up!
There is no doubt that the DB engine technologies are an impressive achievment even today, and seem more resourceful and flexible than allied technologies of the time
With tube-valve based electronics, the allies developed the cavity magnetron that allowed higher (ghz) frequency operation, and increases in power, range and precision for radar and radio beams. Both sides worked on sonar detection but the allies started with, and increased a lead in the area which along with aircraft search radar ended u boat effectiveness. Eletron tubes or valves were minaturized and improved to a much greater extent by the allies during the war.
There were definitely computers, Prescott Bush, W's grandfather, sold IBM electromechanical digital computers to the nazis for eugenics purposes. The Colossus at bletchley park was used to break codes, plan, and correlate information. A German pioneer Konrad Zuse built a Turing computer in 1941 but the nazis didnt support him,and it only developed in a less used state, without full function of memory etc.
@BoricuaFlowHotBoyPR1 Depends which version of the Spit we are talking about. I wouldn't want to be in a MKVb against a 190, or 109F. But against a MKIX its about even, and against MKXIII the FW was inferior. If you read the book on "JG.26:Top guns of the Luftwaffe", all the pilots said that the Spitfire was their most dangerous enemy, even against mustangs, thunderbolts, lightnings, Yak-3s it was the Spit followed by the Thunderbolt they feared the most.
@idontcare80 No, but neither was the Fw-190, it didnt reach the front until Jan 1942. which was really toward the the middle of the war. The main early war fighters were Spit I, Hurricane I and the Emil.
@idontcare80 They were good at some things but not others.They lagged behind in electronics(and therefore radar,sonar,radio,and computing), and in nuclear technology, which the soviets and the west both had better progress. The Germans seemed to place a premium on perfection and skill at the expense of the practical in some ways in some endevours, me109's smaller wing and straight aim/ non convergence armament made it trickier to land and in some ways to fly than spitfire and others.
@MrTrescojones The Germans didn't lag behind in electronics,they were right on par with the allies,if not more advanced in some ways. There were no computers. There were no nuclear weapons programs in any country at the start of the war. You can look at just one technology to see how advanced the Germans were: The BMW 801engine had a mechanical "computer" which determined proper fuel mixture and prop pitch. It was a true "one lever" engine, something many modern aircraft engines can't even claim
@ Bullitsam159 you are correct, it is supercharged. I just bought an R/C version of the BF-109G and after seeing these videos I can't wait to fly it, lol
They flew from grass (and mud) very often during wartime. When Black 6 was flying, someone said they preferred grass because it was more forgiving with the 109's tricky handling from the landing gear configuration.
@idontcare80 I disagree. The RAF proved who had the best equipment {and pilots in many cases} as early as 1940, you know, Battle of Britan and all that. Even if the US hadn't ever formally entered the war, the axis would have lost the war. It just would have taken longer. Lend-Lease ensured victory for the allies. By not taking out Britan when they might have at Dunkirk, and opening up a 2nd front in Russia, the axis cause was doomed from that moment..
@papawx3 Ofcourse not. It never was that simple. The Russians had far superior technology in their war in Afghanistan in the '80's yet they lost the war. Winning a war or even a battle doesn't necessarily mean your equipment is better.
In the case of the BOB each side fought with adequate equipment. However, the RAF used the Hurricane (obsolete) and the Spitfire, which was at the time equal at best to the BF109. Later versions were superior but met their match with the FW190.
@papawx3 I agree, the Brits and those pesky Spitfires... equal to the 109 in battle. The P-38 was quite nasty also, and was available at the time in question. Later on, it took all the Luftwaffe could muster to catch the Mossy.
@wessendorf15 Hitler could have STILL won, even with the second front. Britian was reduced to naval exercises and of course, carrying on in North Africa. Where Hitler went wrong, was not listening to the best Field Marshal he had. His name was Fedor vonBock. He was within two days of reaching Moscow, when Hitler personally interveined, and had his army swing to the south, to encircle a huge cache of russian prisoners. vonBock later said that that diversion order cost them the war.
@papawx3 yes germany had the best military of the world in those days. but hitler tried to take to many countrys at once. and if Hermann Göring didnt bomb the city of london and concetrated on the radar and airfields. the luftwaffes would have owned the skys and would have let germans invade britain.
@papawx3 Bullshit, without USA, the allies would have lost for sure. Britain just had Spitfire, the Tempest, Hurricane and Seafire. The USA is the one who did the most here.
@spanish111japan The USA made the differance in the pacific theater. Lend-Lease made the differance for Russia in 1942 and beyond. My point was that Germany had lost the strategic initutive in the air after 1940 in the west. That is not debatable, that is fact. The Luftwaffe had a small window of opprotunity to use it's superiority to smash the UK {with the necessity of a german invasion of the mainland} in 1940. It allowed that window to close, and it never opened again for them.
@papawx3 Don't forget Europe too. Germany didn't have a good strategy, but their machines were excellent, as their men. If the war had leasted longer, they would have introduced the famous jets, wich only reached 'Prototype', Like the Go-229, or Heinkel Lerche, wich would have been fast, but hard to land. Germany lost the Battle of Britain, but what came after was a disaster for the UK, until USA came in. Without USA, who would have got the terrible weapons? Such as the A-Bomb
@spanish111japan The Germans had EXCELLANT strategies during the war, the problem was that Hitler was constantly interfering, and changing them {equiptment too}. Stalin on the other hand learned his lesson early, and let his generals plan and execute the war. He stuck to interior matters. The war in the east is what doomed the axis, not the west. Aside from Lend-lease, all the western allies did was tie up german divisions that would have been used in the east. That was their main controbution.
@papawx3 The reason RAF won the battle of Britain was 1. RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force) helped the RAF by sending about 500 pilots to help the RAF 2. Hitler changed his plans. Instead of attacking RAF bases in southern England, he bombed London for no reason. Literally sending unarmed bombers for RAF to shoot down. Luftwaffe had better planes, more pilots, better weaponry but the worst strategy.
@papawx3 Not at all. Spits and 109 were as good but England had the advantage of flying over its own land. Instead germans had to fly from the continent to the islands This meant less endurance. Remember that Churchill said Never .. so many owed so much to such a few in reference to the ennormoous effort by tha RAF. The rest ,.. I agree the mishandling of military operations by Hitler
@errantknave And then with their new Japanese allies,the Germans would have sunk the US. All the American Japs,German and Italian sleepers would crawl out of their holes ready to bite the hands which had fed them.If they hadnt already been locked up that is...
@papawx3 Don't you think it's a bit harder in combat when you have to go fly to Britain which takes an hour and fight with very little fuel reserves unlike the British who just had to take off and immediately go to action? Messerschmitt had some flaws but the Spitfire wasn't that perfect either,just ask some FockeWulf pilots and see. Btw. overall (when you include the aviation,tanks,artillery and all the secret weapons) Germany WAS technologically superior,until they ran out of resources.
@vlajster In regard to german equiptment superiority, I have to disagree. Their fighters were on a par with allied fighters, while their bombers were totally deficent. Their tanks were surpassed by the soviets until 1943. They were always playing catch up, especially in small arms. They fought most of the war using WW1 technology {K-98K Mauser}. Where they surpassed the allies the most was in battle hardened troops, and experienced generals. They even lost that edge by 1943-4.
@papawx3 Well,Stukas were old planes but did quite well don't you think? What about the Tiger tank,all other planes including the first jet plane by Heinkel,the V1,V2,Fritz X missiles,what about the Big Bertha,Dora and Gustav superguns,what about the U-boats? Germany had a very nice arsenal,you can't say anything about that. Britain should be lucky for capturing the Enigma machine and inventing the radar and of course for all the US help...those things shortened the war for at least 2 years.
@vlajster Stukas were shot out of the sky after 1942, and were replaced with the ground-attack version of the FW-190. Many ME-262s were shot down by P-51s. They were a technical achievement for sure, but overrated in battle. Big railguns? A waste of steel. The V-1 & V-2 WERE dramatic terror weapons, but were not that much of a strategic importance in the outcome of the war. The U-boats were as good if not better than anything the allies had. Who knows had Hitler not kept production of them low.
@vlajster As I said earlier, Germany's advantages were superior battle tactics, leadership, and experienced combat troops. The germans were the first to use "combined arms" in battle, which gave them a HUGE advantage early in the war. After 1942, most of their advantages were lost, as the allies had caught up in weapons, leaders and combat tactics, especially the soviets. All of this was for naught, as the germans fate was sealed in January of 1942.
@papawx3 Read a book called Fighter, battle of Britain by Walter Day if the Americans have not erased it, He was the Quartermaster of England and clearly states the me -109 was better but the German discipline and tactics( Galland break away and fight) is what lost the 6 year battle of Brit, short period that is famous Germans had about 10 mins fight , Hollywood stretched it to 20, Brits 9 nations vs 1 Best vs the Best, Brits lost 1980 Spits Hurricanes, Germans lost 120 me 109, eat that truth.
@papawx3 I know how old this comment is, but although I would agree that the Spitfire Mk.II was better than the Bf-109E, The later variants were quite good. Damn good, I must say.
@1969captainron I am Dutch and if BRITAIN, RUSSIA and the US had not provided material and men against the German warmachine, I might have been speaking German too. On the other hand, European scientists like Fermi, von Braun (your entire missile program) and Einstein would not have fled from Europe (braindrain) if the Nazis would not pursue Jewish and other minorities, and then you would not have had ''little boy'' and ''fat man''
Japan would have been a different cookie to crumble then.
Most ME109's were lost ground-looping on take off or especially landing. You're never safe till it's tied down or in the hanger. The landing gear are actually attached to the fuselage and are splayed out to give wider track. An offshoot of the biplane days and construction. Cantilever monoplanes were still new in '36 and they didn't trust the landing loads to an unbraced wing. The early ME109s had a tail skid to keep things straight on the rollout. Dangerous operating off a paved runway.
@1969captainron You started with the bad tone to me " gerry " or what the fuck you meanht.. And maybe you become an idiot after what you saw in the war? Yeah you are so glad that you are American? Im so glad i was born in a country that doesnt have an population who are the dumbest on the earth and think that they"re the best.. Hehe maybe your propaganda history books tell that stupid "fact".. Im sure your just pissed of because a guy typed the truth on youtube.. And you become sad :)
@zoltarr122 Another European YouTube winner!! I gues you believe generalizing about 300 million Americans using a device (the computer) on a communication network (the internet) on a website (YouTube), all created by Americans, makes you look real smart, huh?
;)
Back on topic, this pilot is really good. The 109 was known to be a dog in ground handling, but he managed it beautifully. The scream of the turbo on BMW 600-series engines is quite unique and an abstractly beautiful sound.
Daimler-Benz produced the 600-series V12 engines, such as the DB605 used in FM+BB here. It was not turbo-charged, but supercharged with a very noticeable sound on the DB series engines.
@1969captainron Haha just when your arguments was gone you start with this haha.. Yes we are teached that people who are egos and think they are best decerve the right threatment till they dont say anything more.. And it seems that i was succesfull ;-)
Go back to school? Im still in school asshole.. Atleast i gonna have a good job and earn much money .. Im sure you"re an fat american who quit school because you wanted to eat hamburgers and watch your TV with brainwashed propaganda..
Just wake up.. USA are soon in the bottom and you wont be a superpower so much longer.. Your economy sucks because you have an idiot to president.. And you attack countrys so you can steal oil.. You"re just so fucking lame...
Hahahahah!!!! Germany fought against 4 superpowers and almost won..
You call that spanking? The german army had 14-16 millions men in their army..
Russia over 40 million..
France 8 million or more.. And great britian and US had over 10 million too
So shut the fuck up.. The germans had less numbers and almost won suck that faggot... And btw i bet you wouldnt stand 1 day in the army so go and hug your mother ladyboy..
@zoltarr122 Except that the Germans never fought the superpowers simultanuous. When they were forced to fight on two fronts thats when they lost. The German military was very professional, but it was hardly invincible. Their early victories could be as easily blamed on their enemies stupidity then Germanys own brillance. When Germany faced enemies with the same levels of experience and some competent commanders thats when they started to lose.
@1969captainron Nope all of Germanys scientist was forced to help USA after the war.. And some wanted it to because they couldnt continue in Germany with their work.
And why would "Nazis" want their scientist to go to USA instead of germany?
Just watching this makes me wonder what it must have been like in those early days of WW 2 when the luftwaffe was basking in the glow of one victory after another
This BF-109 flys so graceful, and just hearing the motor run sounds so awesome, I wish we could have all seen some firepower. Terrific, this pilot was very lucky to fly such a famous and historic airplane.
It's stupid when they delete the swastika from the tail. Everybody knows the history of these planes, and why they were built in the first place. Why be fake and pretend it doesn't exist? If you embrace only part of it's history, you embrace only part of the plane.
@LateNightCable WELL SAID......In all aspects of your comments, So rare to see someone who views the whole picture instead of what is so close mindedly provided in national histories.
@Nyelandismine There were numerous variants and sub-variants, almost too many to count. Wikipedia actually has a very good profile on the history of the 109, it's worth checking out.
1stLtDavis? From what I understand is that the Germans relied on their experienced pilots to early in the war that by the time 1944 rolled around they had lost most of those pilots. So later in the war they had to rely on the less experienced pilots.
Wait a few more years and we may get to hear what a Jumo 213 sounds like, along with a BMW 801. Also, there may be one or two ground-running Jumo 211s. The BMW is in testing now and so far it seems to run as smooth as a Swiss watch. The DB motor certainly does have a grunt to it.
@vaporazor What plane sounds better is purely a matter of opinion. Personally, I've never heard a warbird that sounded bad. As far as the 109 being the best fighter of WWII, that's likely not the case. The 109 design was state of the art in the late 1930's, but was being outclassed as the war went on and was not without it's flaws. The Focke-Wulf was superior in many regards, and the Mustang only got better as time went on, culminating in the D model by war's end which could handle any 109.
@vaporazor, it wasnt the best fighter, but it was the most produced. The 109F was the last 109 fighter to be superior than its adversary. The 109G and 109K were both vastly inferior to what the allies were flying.
What an extremely dangerous machine. Never gets old.

There is no doubt that the DB engine technologies are an impressive achievment even today, and seem more resourceful and flexible than allied technologies of the time
MrTrescojones 11 months ago
With tube-valve based electronics, the allies developed the cavity magnetron that allowed higher (ghz) frequency operation, and increases in power, range and precision for radar and radio beams. Both sides worked on sonar detection but the allies started with, and increased a lead in the area which along with aircraft search radar ended u boat effectiveness. Eletron tubes or valves were minaturized and improved to a much greater extent by the allies during the war.

There were definitely computers, Prescott Bush, W's grandfather, sold IBM electromechanical digital computers to the nazis for eugenics purposes. The Colossus at bletchley park was used to break codes, plan, and correlate information. A German pioneer Konrad Zuse built a Turing computer in 1941 but the nazis didnt support him,and it only developed in a less used state, without full function of memory etc.

@BoricuaFlowHotBoyPR1 Depends which version of the Spit we are talking about. I wouldn't want to be in a MKVb against a 190, or 109F. But against a MKIX its about even, and against MKXIII the FW was inferior. If you read the book on "JG.26:Top guns of the Luftwaffe", all the pilots said that the Spitfire was their most dangerous enemy, even against mustangs, thunderbolts, lightnings, Yak-3s it was the Spit followed by the Thunderbolt they feared the most.

mmarsh1972 11 months ago
@idontcare80 They were good at some things but not others.They lagged behind in electronics(and therefore radar,sonar,radio,and computing), and in nuclear technology, which the soviets and the west both had better progress. The Germans seemed to place a premium on perfection and skill at the expense of the practical in some ways in some endevours, me109's smaller wing and straight aim/ non convergence armament made it trickier to land and in some ways to fly than spitfire and others.
MrTrescojones 11 months ago
@MrTrescojones The Germans didn't lag behind in electronics,they were right on par with the allies,if not more advanced in some ways. There were no computers. There were no nuclear weapons programs in any country at the start of the war. You can look at just one technology to see how advanced the Germans were: The BMW 801engine had a mechanical "computer" which determined proper fuel mixture and prop pitch. It was a true "one lever" engine, something many modern aircraft engines can't even claim

@idontcare80 I disagree. The RAF proved who had the best equipment {and pilots in many cases} as early as 1940, you know, Battle of Britan and all that. Even if the US hadn't ever formally entered the war, the axis would have lost the war. It just would have taken longer. Lend-Lease ensured victory for the allies. By not taking out Britan when they might have at Dunkirk, and opening up a 2nd front in Russia, the axis cause was doomed from that moment..
papawx3 1 year ago 2
@papawx3 Ofcourse not. It never was that simple. The Russians had far superior technology in their war in Afghanistan in the '80's yet they lost the war. Winning a war or even a battle doesn't necessarily mean your equipment is better.
In the case of the BOB each side fought with adequate equipment. However, the RAF used the Hurricane (obsolete) and the Spitfire, which was at the time equal at best to the BF109. Later versions were superior but met their match with the FW190.
musje83 1 year ago
@papawx3 I agree, the Brits and those pesky Spitfires... equal to the 109 in battle. The P-38 was quite nasty also, and was available at the time in question. Later on, it took all the Luftwaffe could muster to catch the Mossy.

@wessendorf15 Hitler could have STILL won, even with the second front. Britian was reduced to naval exercises and of course, carrying on in North Africa. Where Hitler went wrong, was not listening to the best Field Marshal he had. His name was Fedor vonBock. He was within two days of reaching Moscow, when Hitler personally interveined, and had his army swing to the south, to encircle a huge cache of russian prisoners. vonBock later said that that diversion order cost them the war.

@papawx3 yes germany had the best military of the world in those days. but hitler tried to take to many countrys at once. and if Hermann Göring didnt bomb the city of london and concetrated on the radar and airfields. the luftwaffes would have owned the skys and would have let germans invade britain.

spanish111japan 9 months ago
@spanish111japan The USA made the differance in the pacific theater. Lend-Lease made the differance for Russia in 1942 and beyond. My point was that Germany had lost the strategic initutive in the air after 1940 in the west. That is not debatable, that is fact. The Luftwaffe had a small window of opprotunity to use it's superiority to smash the UK {with the necessity of a german invasion of the mainland} in 1940. It allowed that window to close, and it never opened again for them.
papawx3 9 months ago
@papawx3 Don't forget Europe too. Germany didn't have a good strategy, but their machines were excellent, as their men. If the war had leasted longer, they would have introduced the famous jets, wich only reached 'Prototype', Like the Go-229, or Heinkel Lerche, wich would have been fast, but hard to land. Germany lost the Battle of Britain, but what came after was a disaster for the UK, until USA came in. Without USA, who would have got the terrible weapons? Such as the A-Bomb
spanish111japan 9 months ago
@spanish111japan The Germans had EXCELLANT strategies during the war, the problem was that Hitler was constantly interfering, and changing them {equiptment too}. Stalin on the other hand learned his lesson early, and let his generals plan and execute the war. He stuck to interior matters. The war in the east is what doomed the axis, not the west. Aside from Lend-lease, all the western allies did was tie up german divisions that would have been used in the east. That was their main controbution.
papawx3 9 months ago
@papawx3 That is what i agree! Htiler, in middle.
spanish111japan 9 months ago
@papawx3 The reason RAF won the battle of Britain was 1. RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force) helped the RAF by sending about 500 pilots to help the RAF 2. Hitler changed his plans. Instead of attacking RAF bases in southern England, he bombed London for no reason. Literally sending unarmed bombers for RAF to shoot down. Luftwaffe had better planes, more pilots, better weaponry but the worst strategy.
SovietUnity 9 months ago
@papawx3 Not at all. Spits and 109 were as good but England had the advantage of flying over its own land. Instead germans had to fly from the continent to the islands This meant less endurance.

@papawx3 Don't you think it's a bit harder in combat when you have to go fly to Britain which takes an hour and fight with very little fuel reserves unlike the British who just had to take off and immediately go to action? Messerschmitt had some flaws but the Spitfire wasn't that perfect either,just ask some FockeWulf pilots and see. Btw. overall (when you include the aviation,tanks,artillery and all the secret weapons) Germany WAS technologically superior,until they ran out of resources.
vlajster 8 months ago
@vlajster In regard to german equiptment superiority, I have to disagree. Their fighters were on a par with allied fighters, while their bombers were totally deficent. Their tanks were surpassed by the soviets until 1943. They were always playing catch up, especially in small arms. They fought most of the war using WW1 technology {K-98K Mauser}. Where they surpassed the allies the most was in battle hardened troops, and experienced generals. They even lost that edge by 1943-4.
papawx3 8 months ago
@papawx3 Well,Stukas were old planes but did quite well don't you think? What about the Tiger tank,all other planes including the first jet plane by Heinkel,the V1,V2,Fritz X missiles,what about the Big Bertha,Dora and Gustav superguns,what about the U-boats? Germany had a very nice arsenal,you can't say anything about that. Britain should be lucky for capturing the Enigma machine and inventing the radar and of course for all the US help...those things shortened the war for at least 2 years.
vlajster 8 months ago
@vlajster Stukas were shot out of the sky after 1942, and were replaced with the ground-attack version of the FW-190. Many ME-262s were shot down by P-51s. They were a technical achievement for sure, but overrated in battle. Big railguns? A waste of steel. The V-1 & V-2 WERE dramatic terror weapons, but were not that much of a strategic importance in the outcome of the war. The U-boats were as good if not better than anything the allies had. Who knows had Hitler not kept production of them low.
papawx3 8 months ago
@vlajster As I said earlier, Germany's advantages were superior battle tactics, leadership, and experienced combat troops. The germans were the first to use "combined arms" in battle, which gave them a HUGE advantage early in the war. After 1942, most of their advantages were lost, as the allies had caught up in weapons, leaders and combat tactics, especially the soviets. All of this was for naught, as the germans fate was sealed in January of 1942.
papawx3 8 months ago
@papawx3 Read a book called Fighter, battle of Britain by Walter Day if the Americans have not erased it, He was the Quartermaster of England and clearly states the me -109 was better but the German discipline and tactics( Galland break away and fight) is what lost the 6 year battle of Brit, short period that is famous Germans had about 10 mins fight , Hollywood stretched it to 20, Brits 9 nations vs 1 Best vs the Best, Brits lost 1980 Spits Hurricanes, Germans lost 120 me 109, eat that truth.

Most ME109's were lost ground-looping on take off or especially landing. You're never safe till it's tied down or in the hanger. The landing gear are actually attached to the fuselage and are splayed out to give wider track. An offshoot of the biplane days and construction. Cantilever monoplanes were still new in '36 and they didn't trust the landing loads to an unbraced wing. The early ME109s had a tail skid to keep things straight on the rollout. Dangerous operating off a paved runway.

@zoltarr122 Except that the Germans never fought the superpowers simultanuous. When they were forced to fight on two fronts thats when they lost.

When Germany faced enemies with the same levels of experience and some competent commanders thats when they started to lose.

FiveCentsPlease 1 year ago
@vaporazor What plane sounds better is purely a matter of opinion. Personally, I've never heard a warbird that sounded bad. As far as the 109 being the best fighter of WWII, that's likely not the case. The 109 design was state of the art in the late 1930's, but was being outclassed as the war went on and was not without it's flaws. The Focke-Wulf was superior in many regards, and the Mustang only got better as time went on, culminating in the D model by war's end which could handle any 109.
LateNightCable 1 year ago
@vaporazor, it wasnt the best fighter, but it was the most produced. The 109F was the last 109 fighter to be superior than its adversary. The 109G and 109K were both vastly inferior to what the allies were flying.
