Fw 190A-5, mother of all ground attack planes

[Jochen]

Ok, I asked about A-5 bomb loadouts from Pyro when he was online same time as me. He said that if he remembers correctly A-5 will have same bomb loadouts as A-8...  

It's so sad.

I want to believe! Fw 190F-8 / G-8 / D-9 to Aces High!

Thanks for the Fw 190A-5 HTC!

Jochen don't worry too much.  If we don't get these loadouts on A-5 or A-8, that tells me they will probably come on a Fw 190F or G.    

Also it tells me we will be getting a paint job for an air-to-air A-5.  Hopefully this will be from a certain Kanalgeschwader which operated A-5's in this mode.

Well, I hope we get F or G sometime, single bomb is not muvh good for groundwork when US and UK planes have truckload of rockets and bombs. Well, I'm still pretty hopeful, ETC 50 racks and ER 4 adapter would not be that time consuming to model to A-5.

This is quote from HTC artist who made the A-5 textures.

I did the A5 flown by Leutnant Otto Kittel, Staffelkapitan of 2./JG54 'Grunherz' in Courtland (Latvia) Eastern Front, Spring 1944.

So seems like we are getting eastern front scheme. Some planes there had pretty funky winter camo schemes, I wonder if this will be one of those?

Hmmmmmm thanks for the scoop on the paintjob.  I was hoping for JG 2, but I agree that the winter camo would be cool!

Maybe they are saving the JG 2 markings for the Dora.

I have a pic of the A-5 skin in AH.
Its green/grey mottled (not sure thats the right word thou) with yellow fusalage band under the balkenkreuz and yellow underside of the cowling as well as a little yellow "patch" at lower tail. The underside of the wingtips might be yellow also but I cant see it in the pic.
