Richthofen was very busy, he had never had an easy time since he took over the Luftwaffe, and when the tender for Germany's future aircraft began, he was even busier, but fortunately, he had a group of elite air commanders who were just as elite as him and had experienced the baptism of war to help him complete the tender. And this group of people still has a certain understanding of what the tasks of the Air Force are and what the Air Force needs. And the Luftwaffe in this plane was given more important tasks, it was not only a tactical air force that had always emphasized air defense and campaign support, as the strength of Germany in this plane grew, its leader, Wilhelm II, hoped that the air force could be a strategic force that could destroy a country's industry with bombs, and at the same time could send a certain amount of troops to the rear of the opposing side. And the latter one is prepared for the future strategy of Iran!

The entire fighter bidding plan is divided into the following categories, the first category is fighters, and the following is divided into two types, one is the single-engine fighter bidding plan...... The other is a tender plan for long-range fighters from both sides. The second category is the single-engine attack aircraft bidding plan, which is also divided into two types, namely land-based attack aircraft and sea-based attack aircraft, and the third category is the twin-engine medium bomber bidding program. The fourth category is the 4-engine heavy bomber tender program. And the fifth category is the tender program for transport aircraft and gliders. Richthofen and his team started the tender with the fighters they were most familiar with. To this end, they carried out lengthy discussions and research ......... with the technical staff of Messerschmidt and Heinkel AG as well as with other related companies.

For the tender for single-engine fighters, the Luftwaffe put forward a requirement to ensure flight performance as much as possible. The speed should be as fast as possible, the climb should be as good as possible, and the hovering performance is ranked third, because better hovering performance requires a lower wing load, and a lower wing load requires a larger wing area. A larger wing area increases the weight of the aircraft on the one hand, and drags on the other. This is extremely disadvantageous for both speed and climb. Of course, you can reduce other weights to compensate for the weight gain caused by large wing loads. Historically, this has been done as well, but without the help of an excellent aerodynamic layout and laminar flow wings. Similar compensatory measures have proven to be tragic.

Is there an airplane that can fly fast and spin in circles, and climb well? The answer is yes. Take the British Spitfire, for example. The Spitfire has been a sworn enemy of the Luftwaffe since its appearance. Once and bf109 and fw190 from beginning to end, in terms of performance, the Spitfire is flying fast, (except for the FW190 when it first came out, the Spitfire 5 gap is more obvious, but when it comes to Spitfire 9, it catches up again.) It's okay to turn in circles. (Dead bf109 and fw190) climb is also good enough. From a combat point of view alone, the Spitfire is powerful. But what about the Spitfire? First of all, the first problem is the short range, (if the author is not mistaken.) More tragic than 109. When the bombers that took off from Britain in World War II went to bomb Germany, the Spitfire could only be escorted to the Strait and had to go back. Secondly, the payload is also very small, and when the BF109 can be loaded with 500kg bombs, the Spitfire still seems to be equipped with 250-level bombs. And when the BF109 really performs a ground attack mission, it can still hang 250 bombs and additional fuel tanks. The third problem is that the roll is a bit worse ..........

And even so, the design of the Spitfire cannot be copied by other countries, why? The reason is simple, the British have the best liquid-cooled engine in the world, and other countries don't! The Morin engine was used by the Americans and said it was good! The American V1710 is inferior to the British Morin. Someone even joked. Only a Mustang with a British engine is a good Mustang, which shows how powerful the liquid-cooled engine of the British is. Therefore, there is a contradictory relationship between the vertical maneuverability and speed of the aircraft and the horizontal maneuverability. …。

As for the historical Zero fighter, this is flying far. At the beginning of the Pacific War, when the egg flew out of less than 530km, the German 109F2 could already fly at a speed of 620 to 630, and the FW190A4 could fly at a speed of more than 670. The Eggs were defeated against the British Spitfire 5 because of the opponent's tactical problems, and at the same time, the FW190A4 played a small Fokker disaster. And directly led to the birth of Spitfire 9. As for the protective performance. Needless to say, there are eggs that don't even have self-enclosed mailboxes. As for weapons? Just looking at the eggs, the reserve of only 60 rounds per gun is enough tragedy. The 190A4 is 2 MG151-20 cannons. Luxurious firepower ......... with 2 cannons and 2 machine guns.

The reason why the P51 fighter can be called the pinnacle of the 2 fighters is because of the laminar flow wing and excellent aerodynamic layout. This gives him an excellent balance of speed, climb and hovering, as well as a decent range. The P51B is faster than the 190A4. Climbing and circling are also nice. Even though the range is not very large, the PP51B far exceeds the 190, 109 and Spitfire. However, the powerful aerodynamic layout of this aircraft has been achieved only by the United States in history, and it is impossible for other countries. Of course, if there is Xu Jie, the golden finger of the traverser, it is a different matter...... In general, the choice of fighters by Germany in history and by Richthofen in this plane was correct. There's a reason why bf109 was able to play the whole game. As the existence of the largest production of 2 combat fighters, the BF109 can survive to the end definitely has its advantages.

First of all, the aircraft has decent speed and climb, and in these two respects, basically the various models of the BF109 are almost equal compared to the Spitfire. Of course, the latter is more horizontal maneuverable than the BF109. The ultimate version of the BF109, the BF109K4, can also reach a maximum speed of over 720 and a climb of over 4400 feet at the end. This performance is not backward in the late stage of World War 2, and it can basically be tied with the Spitfire 14 and P51D, and several aircraft have their own advantages and disadvantages at different altitudes. It can be regarded as a realization of the performance concept of BF109. Secondly, this plane is cheap! What is the fundamental reason why Germany's aviation capabilities, which can only be regarded as the first silk compared to the United States and the United Kingdom, can produce so many BF109? Isn't he cheap yet? Messerschmidt designed this aircraft to meet the DB engine used in the 109 with as little weight as possible. So much so that some people in later generations jokingly called BF109 T34 in the air. Production hours were even reduced to 3,000 hours at one point! (This is the data obtained from the magazine, and the author cannot guarantee rigor.) But cheapness is a certainty. ）。 …。

So in this plane, although Germany's national power is much higher than it has historically been. However, considering that the hostile forces faced are also very strong, and there is a huge destabilizing factor, the requirements for the productivity and performance of fighters are still very high. If nothing else, the Messerschmitt BF109 will still appear on this plane. At the same time, because Germany has to fight on a wider battlefield than in history, long-range fighters are still needed, but sadly, Germany has never made a really useful long-range fighter in history. If the U.S. imperialists' P51 and P47 are high-quality long-range fighters, and the P38 is a general long-range fighter, then the German BF110 can only be described as sad, and the British Spitfire is equally tragic, but the performance of the Hornet twin-engine fighter at the end of World War 2 is comparable to the existence of the P51H, which is also a late bloomer. As for Russia? There don't seem to be any long-range fighters. And what about Japan? Eggs were almost useless in the late stages of World War 2 except for range and low-speed hovering performance. What the? Some people say how about do335? Anyway, this guy should be pretty good if he can lose weight. But let's not say that there is no mass production, even if it is mass-produced, it is still not much ......... than the P51H and DH108 Hornet twin-engine aircraft.

When the BF110 first came out, it still had a speed advantage, but then compared with the American P38 of the same period, its speed was a disadvantage, and the climb was also a disadvantage. By the middle and late stages of the war. The Germans designed the ME210 and ME410 fighters. The performance of the ME410 is indeed a big improvement compared to the BF110, and the top speed has been increased to 624km. It's similar to the early P38. But this was achieved with the help of a powerful engine, with the ME410A being equipped with a DB603A engine with 1,750 hp, while the P38J's V1710-89 engine was producing only 1,425 hp. But the former has a speed of only 624 km/h, while the latter has a speed of 666 km/h! As for the climb? The Me410 takes 10.8 minutes to climb to 6700 meters, while the P38J climbs to 6100 meters in 7 minutes! The design level of both sides is really not a grade.

The single-engine aircraft wanted to solve the range problem, which was almost impossible to solve by technology at that time. Therefore, the Germans could only choose twin-engine aircraft, and it was a conventional twin-engine aircraft, and the historical BF110 also entered the Luftwaffe under the strong historical inertia. And as in history, German long-range fighters have always been weaker than their opponents of the same period, at the beginning the BF110 was inferior to the P38 series, and by the time of the ME410, it was still inferior to the P38 series. The mid-to-late DO335 climbed the coffee table because of weight problems, even if it installed 2 DB605 engines, but still couldn't beat the P51H and the British Hornet, is this the fate of history? . …。
