Leaf Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) By far the best plane. Edited October 13, 2014 by 19te.Leaf 1
Finkeren Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 By far the best plane. ...to shoot down. You might say it's the equivalent of the moose in deer hunting.
LastRightsXIII Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 It's cool they have included this (Black-6) skin in BoS 1
indiaciki Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) love the 109 Edited October 14, 2014 by indiaciki

indiaciki Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Ther are no planes close to the Bf109 or the Mig21... not because they were special - their pilots made them what they were i.e. very special.
Leaf Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 ...to shoot down. You might say it's the equivalent of the moose in deer hunt Disgusting comment. Really quite an appalling attitude. I mean, how dare you insult the greatest flying machine ever made? Have you ever seen the K4?! That thing could be in Vogue! The Yak on the other hand is a bit like a regular deer. Lots of 'em around, they don't do much, aren't worth much and are generally quite easy to shoot down.
6./ZG26_5tuka Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Disgusting comment. Really quite an appalling attitude. I mean, how dare you insult the greatest flying machine ever made? Some just don't like to recognize success. Even more for a machine 5 years older than the lumber Yak It's a great plane no doubt. Even soviets respected them and wished to have some. They were precious booty to them.

Even soviets respected them and wished to have some. They were precious booty to them. This is due to idiotic documentaries like "why was the spitfire better than the 109" etc.. and even more imbecile propaganda like the "the nazi fighter that "just missed to be success" (pdf 1940): http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1940/1940%20-%203013.html
Finkeren Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) Don't get me wrong, I respect both the Moose and the Messer. Both are magnificent, powerful animals (the Spitfire is more like a little Sika-deer). In the end though, it's all just meat on the table Edited October 16, 2014 by Finkeren
Crump Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Watch the slat deployment. Sometimes they are just barely cracked open and other times fully deployed in the split second. In otherwords, they work as the wing requires based on Angle of Attack. There is no moments created about the CG due to normal slat deployment.
LLv34_Flanker Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 S! I need to get that book telling about Bf109 and German war industry. Finnish author, WW2 enthusiast and historian. It says there are a lot of false information floating around about the Bf109 that has become "truth" oover the years as it has been repeated over and over. Author has been behind a lot of German veteran visits and former "head master" of Finnish Air Force museum in Tikkakoski.

LLv34_Flanker Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 S! It should be also in English, I found the ISBN number: ISBN 951-95688-7-5 Author: Hannu Valtonen Title: Messerschmit Bf109 ja Saksan sotatalous. (Bf109 and Germany's war industry/economy)
Siipiorava Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 I found this article on the same subject with some quotes from Valtonen's book. http://www.virtualpilots.fi/feature/articles/109myths/

VRPilot Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 look how small the cockpit was... to bad real pilots can't zoom out
PFR_Bearkiller72 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) A workmate of mine and a close friend of his are owners of a 1:1 wooden replica of a '109. How and where they got it, is a rather long story. But I had the chance to sit in the cockpit. Given it's 1:1 scale, it's a real tight spot. Hats off to those young men who flew the real 109's in real combat. That British gentleman in one of the vids above certainly had a point, when he used the term "cramped"...
