Focke Wulf 190 D-12

[Zacherof]

Might add that pick a base and for the tater platform before jumping in. Aka start with the 109g14 with the 20mm for 109's and the 190A5 for them birdies. Some might say differeny but starting off with the 109G14 will help me you learn to use the engine to actually assist in aiming as well as gaining better knowledge of the platform and her envelope. I know some pilots like grizz use the canopy as a way of aiming. Hope this helps. If I might also add, any of the muppets, jg11, jg54 other luftweenies  love to help. I would love to but I don't play Hardly ever due to work.


Ps everyone has thier wY of guidance and teaching, these are just whT helped me.

WNr 836017 is a D-13.

The wing of this a/c and the D-9 in the USA at one time were switched. They now have the correct wings.

Milo knows his Yellow 10 history well. We have this skin in the game btw. I fly it all the time. It's an exercise in frustration. 

[Lucifer]

I still want it ! 

[atlau]

Nein nein nein nein nein nein.

But since we are on this subject the D9 should be ENY 5.

[bustr]

At least for the D13 production numbers.

Block    
836 000 - 836 017

Then some infer the D13 is really the Ta152 C after the change from FW to Ta.

Block    
110 006 - 110 026

I'm confident we have resident experts who can illuminate this better. Still, it's not like Hitech is unaware of this ride but, maybe for the time being Waffle getting all the AH1 rides up to AH3 modeling standards is more important in the near term.

Mk180 does fine past 250 yards, just need to learn how it works.

Don't forget to add a link to the Mk108 practice tool.

Lets see, did we have 190D-12s in combat units before the end?   No.  That kind of eliminates it from contention, especially since you already have the Ta-152 in the game.  If we going to start adding rides that were only available as prototypes, I'm voting for the Do-335.

Two known to be in service with 17 built of D-13, D-12 canceled in favor of the D-13. One D-13 surrendered intact "Yellow 10". This is like the GV guys wanting a 500ft hill with a spawn over every field. 


In all, the Ministry of Aviation called for 820 D-11 airframes to be built by Focke-Wulf Sorau, starting in early 1945, Fieseler Kassel was tasked to build 1,420 D-12s starting in the same time frame and the manufacture of the D-13 was passed to Arbeitsgruppe Roland [N 3] tasked with the construction of 1,060 airframes starting again in early 1945. For some unknown reason, production of the D-12 was cancelled in favour of the D-13 model. From evidence from the Oberkommando der Luftwaffe General Quartiermeister document Nr. 2766/45 of April 1945, it was known that 17 D-13s were more than likely built, but only two were known to be in service. A D-13 (Wk. Nr 836017) flown by the Geschwaderkommodore of JG 26, Franz Götz, an ace with 63 kills, was surrendered to the British at Flensburg, Northern Germany in May 1945.[55] As noted previously, this aircraft is still in existence, painted in its original colour scheme as Yellow 10 of 6 Staffel/JG 26, is thought to be airworthy and is currently located in the Flying Heritage Collection at Paine Field in Everett, Washington. This aircraft is one of the few existing Fw 190s with a provenance that can be traced continuously from its manufacture to the present time.[56]

At least they got rid of that stupid crossbar on the canopy.

    The Rheinmetall Borsig mk 108 "Pnuematic Hammer" was cheap to produce and light, It was far from the optimum air to air weapon.  and was installed in fighters set up for bomber intercept not air superiority.  "fighter v fighter".  Many Luftwaffe pilots hated It.    The mk 103 a much better weapon , but was longer, heavier and more costly.   hindsight what it is.  Many experts sat 4 20mm in the 262 would have been a better choice do to the closing speed of the planes.

[lunatic1]

we already have the 190-A8 190-D9 and the 190-F8--why do we need another 190-d  or a or f model

[save]

Easy question to answer -the A-9 is much faster at low-medium altitudes than the current A-8, it was more than 900 produced, had better oil ring cooler protection than the A-8.
The current A-8 can be caught by close to every late fighter found in the Melee arena, and can not turn with a bomb-loaded Lancaster.

How the A8 and the F8 can have the same performance with the F8:s ~200 kg weight disadvantage is still a mystery to me.

I think that this whole forum section is very important, especially today : we are, HITECH is looking for new players and returning players. Hell, if we had only 10% returning players from the last 7 years, new server capacity(1000) would totaly be perfect as those 10% only would -easily- grant the required numbers : having new machines is exactly the reason why those players would return : many of them used actual planes/vehicles for so long they lost the "feeling" of planes/vehicles discovery when using them ; having new planes, even if produced in extremely low numbers, would bring us back those players. And i am not talking about blueprints machines, i'm talking about built ones, like the Mistel, the FW-190d-12, FW-190d-13, the Hummel, the Nashorn, etc...

Players refusing to let Aces High evolve is why numbers are so low today.

You wish we had that much control over what Hitech wants to do with his company.

Should have been there for the two years of the alpha\beta testing for AH3. We all hit Hitech with what we wanted him to do to his company. One or two things were implemented but, the impression was he had already been working on the idea and the player filled in something with their wish that helped him see it working in the game. After two years of testing, it was obvious we were there to test the new code against as many different PC's as possible and he already had a fully mature idea of what he wanted come day 1 go live.

since I don't know metrics from a hole in the ground is the D12/13 or whatever it is-faster than the 190-d9-a8-f8- if it isn't why would we want it-even with the 30mm? JuSt Asking gentlemen, just wondering, just curious?

esp when there are other more AH worthy planes being asked for.
