One of these 190A-6's would make a great addition to AHII.

We need an early Fw190 a lot more than one in between the A-5 and A-8.  We have no Fw190 from 1941 or 1942 when it was in ascendance over the RAF.

You mean the 190A-1 or 2?

Or A-3 or A-4.  I don't think the A-1 saw much, if any, use.  I am not an Fw190 expert by any stretch of the imagination though.  I do know that the Fw190A-5 is from mid-1943, concurrent with our Spitfire Mk VIII.

 A-3 would probably be the best compromise.

 

[Krusty]

Agreed on that.

As for the A-6, it's the same as an A-5 but can carry MG151/20s or Mk108s outboard....

Those weapons options (the pods/racks) you list were all available for both the A-4 and A-5 as well. They never carried GM-1, by the way. That would only help above 30k or so.

You might be right on the A-1.  From my understanding, A-0, A-1 and maybe A-2 did not see action however the A-2 was the first. i believe, to be put into service.  Also, i believe the A-2 had lots of issue with the engin that burns out after 20-30 flying hours.
