Replace 190a8 with a9!
« on: May 03, 2012, 09:09:33 AM »
According to "teh internetz"; the 190a9 had a more powerful engine, but basically the same gun packages/etc.

Can we have this one instead of the a8?

No.  Maybe HTC can add the Fw190A-9, but removing the Fw190A-8 would open a large gap in the Fw190 lineup, replacing the common Fw190A-8 with the later and rare Fw190A-9.  That would make absolutely no sense.  Further, why ever remove an existing unit?

Before you use the Bf109G-10 as an example, understand that we never had the Bf109G-10 modeled in AH.  We had a Bf109K-4 that was named a Bf109G-10 so that it could have the 20mm motorkannon and gondolas.  Its performance was always that of a Bf109K-4 though, significantly faster than the Bf109G-10 would have been.

The Fw190 we really need is something like the Fw190A-2 though.

A9 is heavier and only slightly powerful and under certain altitude even slower than A8. I'm not sure if it is "better" aircraft. Up high it would probably be a better bomber interceptor but I bet we are better off with A8.

I haven't yet gotten exactly clear picture of the power outputs but yeh it's slightly heavier. The top speed on the deck would be there with the F4U-1A, P-51D and 190K-4.

It would be nice if they could correct the weight / armor issue on the A8 first. Then there is the 6 year (or so) old tailwheel bug. I agree the A2 would be a excellent addition to the family, the A4 as well.

Everyone knows that the current FW-190A8 in AH is actually using the flight model of the Bolton-Paul Defiant and the engine of the Breda ba.88 Lince.

It weighs approximately 45,000 kg more than it should, and it can't even break mach in a dive.

And it is missing the air to air Ruhrstahl X4 missiles it was supposed to have!  :mad:

According to Fw data the A-9 was always faster than non-boosted A-8. The A-8 with C3-injection (erhöhte Notleistung) was always slower than the A-9 in the lower gear, it was a tad faster in high gear between 3.75 and 5.75 km altitude.
A-8 achieved max speed at ~ 5.5km, A-9 had this speed (and more) between 6 and 7.5 km.

Well now this whole thing is just silly and this thread is nothing more than spam to multiple threads already on this subject, it unfortunatley should be shut down although I sympasize to a very slim degree. 

Unless you're saying AH would do better or should, for some redunculous idea, without a Fw190A-8, one of the most produced (and sucessful) fighter aircraft varients of the second world war?...  do elaborate. :D

I agree this late-war mmo arena centred game genre could greatly benefit from the adition of a Fw190A-9, but it shouldn't come at any expense or (at least I hope) to the Fw190A-8.  If anything, a couple more A-8s should be added to teh game (well, one or two A-8s, maybe another F-8 or remodeled F-8... anywho).

Has it now become a monthly ritual to have a 'we want any 190A but the one we have" thread?

 Personally I like the 190A5 best of all the 190s in the game and some guys are deadly in it.
