But that doesn't look anything like an A-20 or a P-40 : )

That plane will make a fine addition for me to shoot down.

cc...if you hit in the engine compartment, from behind where armor is weakest. Even Hans Ulrich Rudel had trouble at 1st to get results with this plane. Eventually, he did very good with it, but it required superior marksmanship. For the average LW pilot, the big bombs were easier to use.

But don't get me wrong....I want this plane too ;)

... and both versions please. Guns & Bombs!  I don't care if some people burps "MA survivability!".  That is NOT an issue which should decide what planes we get with each release. (And usually it's the same people whining about the Stuka who wants  the P-40)

yep, MA survivability shouldn't be an issue.  it will be meat on the table for any fighter, just like the il-2.  but with air superiority against the occasional ground attack, this plane will be very fun to fly.

BTW, wasn't there a BFG option for the 190F-8?

one other thing rudel killed the majority of his tanks in the g model.

Accurrate dive bombing in the eastern front was tough.

Spotting a tank from a height great enough to allow dive bombing was near impossible

I think it was other way around. Bombs are hard to aim against moving targets, even in dive.

High velocity guns can be fired from low and close, requiring no need for calculating lead. All you need to do is to place aimpoint to tank and let loose.
