I honestly wonder if the Focke Wulf Fw-190 could have made a good carrier plane?
Much better than the Me-109, at any rate. Had a wide landing gear ans stronger wings than the Me. This alone would make it a better basis for convertion.
I was thinking the same thing pretty much. Surprised no one has used this idea in a TL, whenever a TL with the Graf Zeppelin is used, they always use the Me-109.
it might be because such TLs depend on the Graf being completed and used as scheduled, mid/late 1940? No Fw-190 by then. Maybe as future replacements...
Yeah your right and the problem there is that most of these Graf Zeppelin TL don't last more than a few chapters before they're abandoned.
As many Sealion threads as well. Unless there are some major PODs, I do not see Germany with the ability to keep a carrier force available once WW2 is declared.
Lets hope they fixed the structural problems in the tail that plagued the FW-190

20mm guns are very heavy (along with the ammo) so making them twin mounts would increase empty weight fairly substantially and reduce the potential fuel and/or bomb loads.

Ki-98s.
I would think the next colour scheme would be Armee de l'Air in French Indochina in 1947-48.
And perhaps ROC in the same period.
