P-38G and J!!

I believe you are referring to the SchnellKampfGeschwaders and Hitler's "Terror bombing" of England by them.  They were most certainly FW-190G's as these were the planes specifically designed to be long-range fast attack bombers.

That is why the RAF tested so many FW-190G's in their Enemy Test Flight.

In the very beginning they were FW-190A jabo-einsatz's but these were quickly supplanted by the FW-190G series.

He already has the Flight Test's.

 

For the FW-190A8 on the deck:

BMW801D2Q:

575 Kilometers per hour equals 357.288 Miles (statute) per hour

July '44 - BMW801TS:

590 Kilometers per hour equals 366.609 Miles (statute) per hour

FW-190A5:

555 Kilometers per hour equals 344.861 Miles (statute) per hour

565 Kilometers per hour equals 351.075 Miles (statute) per hour

Has been the range on A5 performance.

 

Almost all the G's and F's I have found have significantly less performance than the FW-190A's.  More weight and Drag.

For both Fw-190A-8s

190A-8's  357 (D2Q) and 367 (TS) mph speeds are achived by full throttle or you have to kick in WEP?
