Your Fatherland calls upon you to defend the Reich. Choose I./JG 1 as your place of service with the devastatingly powerful Fw190A-8. With it's heavy armor and firepower far superior to anything the allies have, no bomber will stand a chance against us! Send a care package home for once in the form of a flaming B-17 or bits of B-24. If interested, please send me a pm or post here so we can sign you into the axis forum.

Is the 190 A8 in AH modeled with armor plating?

Yes!  Ancient Nord Armor of Eminent Destruction.  It's literally impossible to die when flying one.



(seriously...yes..all 190's had armor plating to various degrees in differing locations and configurations and such are modeled accordingly).

It all starts with the engine oil hit, the pilot wound, blood spatter , and then the cutting off of the left wing ..it all happens in just a couple seconds. The Fatherland will be proud of you but you will be dead.

We know of the allies secret weapon coded 999000 and we have a solution! We're just not going to get near the guns of this secret project. We've found that it is the easiest way of dealing with 999000 and all other methods have a less than 20% survival rate. We also know that there is only one operational 999000 unit currently and have dispatched an elite squad to take the unit's ethanol infused grain it uses for fuel.

The 999000 unit, while powerful, will be too little to stop the fires of might we will bring down on the invaders.  :t

I thought there would be more concern about 999000 but the bounty is only up to 2 sheep for him.   Odd, figured it'd be at least 6 or 7 by now.

FW 190A-8's are bomber killers -- make no mistake about that.

Anyone thinking that B-17's will be at 32k is confused.  B-17's will be at 26k at highest.  Anyone thinking that an A8 can't catch a B-17 at 26k is confused.  At 26k, a FW 190A-8 is 60 mph faster than the B-17.  (Of course, A8's don't show up at 26k -- they show up higher and dive in.)

When bomber pilots see FW 190A-8's showing up, the reaction (expressed in G-rated terms) is "Uh oh."

My bomber group in the first Der Grosse Schlag when the A8's showed up:

Who you kidding.  We know you were at the Seminar going over creative uses for broken 190s.  This being the latest in 1944 190A8 hat racks that were all the rage in Germany :)

Thankfully, we can accommodate that request.  :aok

Guppy, you are the spin master!  Only you could take up a stolen A8 to try and learn it's secrets, perform the famous GuppyDive and try to pin it on the Axis.

You need to be in politics buddy, you are GOOOOOD!
