[Development] Bf 109 T-2: A Rare Gem

Hopefully the messerspit will be TT is this is premium

Finally, was waiting for this to show up already several years ago when War Thunder was still fun with realistic matchups and focused more on & around WWII era.
Hopefully, the actual naval T-1 will appear at some point as a Tech Tree variant.

Whilst nice to see it i am wondering when you try to fulfill actual needs within the German TT:

A capable fighter at one of the most popular BRs in Air RB: 3.7 combined with being at Rank III to fulfill battle pass requirements and for daily tasks which requires a Rank III vehicle.

In order to close this gap at BR 3.7 you have 2 easy options:

  1. Introduce a 109 F-2 with Galland modification (replacing 2 x 7,92 with 2 x 13 mm) - i saw a suggestion about this

    or

  2. Implement a 109 F-4/Z (more than 800 built) - a high altitude version with GM-1. The slight weight increase of the GM-1 tank reduces the performance at lower alt slightly - and the lack of additional weapon loadouts (no gondolas, no bombs) justifies a lower BR of 3.7

Why is a BR 3.7 Rank III single engine fighter important?

Germany is the only WW 2 nation without a single engine fighter at this BR. The event Bv 155 is pretty rare and slow as hell. As soon as you play a 2.7 aircraft for Germany you face more or lest constant full uptier loops and have to fight hordes of P-51 B/Cs (where is the German version?), Ki-44 IIs, Ki-100 IIs, Yak-9 Ms, A6Ms, La-5 FNs - all capable to kill the few 109 F-2s in your team.

And the 4 x BR 3.7 slots are either occupied by base bombing Bf 110 Gs or the few guys in the BR 3.7 Me 410.

Have a good one!

I mean, it could be just a low-tier filler for air event, just like in old events, not some useless tier 2 premium that nobody in their right mind will buy
And yes, why is it even a new premium when the same thing already exists

if its based on 109E it’d be MG FF or FF/M, not MG151, so the even worse ones

Devs could introduce a new Squadron Pack that would feature several vehicles in single Squadron Research Tree entity (around 300K squad RP for 2 vehicles). It would be a win-win - Germans would GE this pricey pack, while others could have it for free in 2 months.

If Mg FF then even only HEF-T, P-T and P at 134g 615m/s.

Dos this mean… does this mean… we’ll also see the return of carrier spawns in sim?

but but it has better low speed performance so clearly it should be a premium because the low tier grind isn’t quick enough

Fix MG FF ammunition please.

It’s been three years and basically every report on them was ignored.

Its based on the ammo manual i requested at the BArchiv, more than this is barely possible.
But yeah, waiting for both 15 and 20mm fix (they got a couple of errors) will be a final destination.
