D0 355 delayed 2years?!

What I find typical is your constant twiddling with reality, your "wish it weren't so", your "if the Germans did as I think they should have done, then they would have won the war". Now that *is* dumb.

 

hmmmmmmmm why is the Dora even being mentioned as that was not the original intent of the topic.

you say the Uhu should not have been introduced and replaced by what ? the Do 335 night fighter which would of been a joke, also it would of been a two seater so that defeats the purpose of your statement.

thought it was pretty clear in my remarks that G-4's and G-6's had gun pods in the MTO. JG 27, 53 and 77 all used them in their service there. Of course Schroer had underwing arms on his 109

Hmm, What ifer's number perhaps in the millions around the globe & you Za think they're all dumb, now that is dumb. 'What if' is all about twiddling about with strategy. If that doesn't interest you, what on earth are doing here??!!

 

Um no didn't say 355 would replace uhu as night fighter. A joke of a conclusion that again I didn't put forward. What I said was, the availability of the 603 engine would be facilitated by not building uhu & 410. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Dora is being mentioned as an addendum to D0 355 being introduced as an overall stategy. as opposed to building 2 engined planes mentioned above.

& 90% of the photos of 109's in med circa 43 do not show gunpods. It is possible that Schroer had em in June 43, but unlikely. You haven't provided any solid evidence that he did.

 

forget it Steve, your repeated attempts to suck me of info has finally come to it's end.

If you can't get some decent references especially Prien's histories to find the info you are looking for yourself then you are beyond help

 

I see, can't prove it, cut & run. Plenty of G-2 trops flying in med 'mid' 43, which had no pods.

This Bf 109 G-2 trop (Stkz. GJ+QR), "yellow 10", Werk-Nr. 14800 was flown by Fw. Hans Döbrich after the loss of his first G-2. The eight holes for the location of the sand filter can be seen.
Most likely this aircraft had a standard Mediterranean camouflage scheme applied by the factory and it was repainted by JG 5. Part of the sandy colour can still be seen . The picture was taken at Salmijärvi in April/May 1943.

Yah some gunpod types appeared mid 43 & flew along with the G-2's without pods. But G-6 with pods were not the main type produced.

 

P.S. don't give me any nonsense about sucking you into anything. You made the snarky comment above, & as well started the vein were in about armament. You provided the wood, gas & the match. take resonsibility for your emanations rather than attempt to push it off on someone else.

who cares about G-2's

I was mentioning G-4's and G-6's, the proof is in the publications, go out and purchase them .........and quit depending on internet source(s)

I know you want photo proof it's there besides the other JG 27 histories published

and you have the gall to post hs ` a model plus Osprey as a source - ? still do not get you man, G-6 was not the main type produced ? they flew in the MED period, what more proof do you need
