Flagrum Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Found this gem by accident: http://www.deutscheluftwaffe.de/archiv/Dokumente/ABC/d/Diverses/Jeagerleitverfahren/Ueberblick%20Jeagerleitverfahren.pdf It gives an overview over the "Jägerleitverfahren", the ground controlled intercept method the germans used. I still have to dig through it by myself, but seemingly stuff like "Y Verfahren" is explained - something I always wondered what it is all about when I stumbled upon this term in the BF109 and Fw190 manuals and the FuG16 description. Well, ofc it is in german ... tut mir leid! ;o)
Friedrich-4B Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I could be wrong, but from what I have read the "Y Verfahren" was initially fitted to the 109s or 190s of formation leaders to allow ground control to keep track of the formation.

Very pleasant to fly, very controllable, predictable and steady. We never refuse to correct something that was found outside ED if it is really proven...But we never will follow some "experts" who think that only they are the greatest aerodynamic guru with a secret knowledge. :smartass: WWII AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE
