If you havent seen already pyro is promising to look into other loadouts on the 190f8 (time permitiing) so i thought id put some of the loadout options up for you guys who dont really follow LW aircraft or never bothered buying book on the 'other' side
FW190f8:
In 1944 the fw190F-8 began rolling off the assembly lines, serving as thr ground-attack counterpart to the fw190a8 fighter.In virtually all detailed respects, it was identical to the A-8, but with its outboard cannons removed and fitted with an ETC 501 fuselage rack as standard.The fuselage MG131 machine guns were retained under a bulged armament panel, as well as the wing root MG151 cannons.The F-8 also had the option os carrying an extra aft fuselage 115 liter internal fuel tank.
The fw190F-8 also featured the newly approved Grosse Bombelektrik weapons control system which allowed the pilot to select the release of his weapon stores or opt for full salvo during attacks.
Several Rustatzen were planned for the fw190F-8, as well as an impressive number of armament test beds.Some of the more notable were as follows:
R1 allowed for the addition of four ETC 50 underwing bomb racks for four SC 50(110lb) bombs.
R3 allowed for the installation of two underwing 30mm MK103 cannons with improved, tapered external pods.By this time, however, research with the MK103 cannon pods was being terminated and it is believed only two 190F-8s were so equipped.
WGr.28/32 Rockets were based on the unguided infantry rockets, these 280mm and 320mm blunt nosed projectiles were tested as underwing mounts against ground targets with little success.
Panzerschreck (tank terror) long triple tube underwing launchers for 88mm anti-armour projectiles.Although unsuccessful, this was one of several similar arrangements tested with alternate caliber weapons under different designations.
SG 113 Forstersonde was two aerofoil, vertical pylons passing through the inboard wings allowing for the downward firing of 75mm anti-armour projectiles (two tubes in each pylon)
This arrangement was similar in principle to the fuselage mounted, upward firing, triple tube...
SG 116 Zellendusche anti-bomber weapon tested for fw190A-8 fighters.Both weapons were triggered by a sensor which detected passing targets.
Panzerblitz (tank lightning) inspired by panzerschreck, these modified R4M air to air rockets were mounted under the outboard wings on flat launching pallets.(PB1) featured fixed fin 80mm projectiles requiring extended launch rails, whereas (PB2) featured folding fin rockets on more compact pallets.Six to seven of these weapons could be carried under each wing for anti-armour operations.The Fw190F-8 and F-9 used them operationally beginning in early 1945.
ok i cant type no more
but there are loads of set ups.
Most were not used operationally but there are some crazy weapons that could be great fun to implement into AH
hope this is usefull........
