Focke-Wulf 190 cannon switches.

This has been discussed MANY times before.

Basically you could count the number of Fw 190A's fitted with WB 151/20 pods(I) or MK 103(K) pods with one hand. And I won't even bother to explain why no option J - MK 108 in a pod...

HI

I see no reason to have an Mk108 in a pod, Mk108s in pods were on the earlier 190s before A8, A8s came with a standardized wing which had fittings for internal 108 wing cannons. Pods would slow you down especially the dual MG151 pods. There were few 190s with Mk103 pods.

thanks GRUNHERZ

Umm.....Warbirds already has this, but it doesn't work. Try it. Grab an A8 with a bomb and simply cycle through weapons. You'll notice it takes two taps of the key [or button] to get back to the bomb. Why? Two pairs of cannons, two weapon entries. Now if it only worked.....

Even though if there was just few, doesn't LW need some better tank buster to compare with Hispanos than Ju-87G?
Man, I can't wait for americans to bring in P-39 with 37mm, that will be superb as Hispano is!

Makes plane heavier and slower, but still those allies are against it  

Too bad that they weren't deciding in World War 2 what to put on german planes and tanks, because that would have saved alot lives.
