FW190 F8 loadout source attached
« on: October 14, 2002, 03:56:55 PM »
Ok this will be the last time I post on the 190F8.  There is given facts and countless documents out there verifying the facts on this plane.  Included is an image the 190F8's that served in Czeck service.  This was there loadouts and you can take it for what it is worth.  This has been beat down so many times, I would like to see something added as it stands now the plane is rather useless.  It was the true dedicate Jabo, right now the jabo is the 110 G2, we wanted the F8 and got it, but with limited armament options.  If you look at the Allied counterparts they are armed to the teeth.  Please Pyro do something about this.  I am not asking for much just some of the weapons it Carried.  Lil snip from a book.

On 3 March 1945, 9./S.G.77 was ordered to re-equip its FW 190F-8s with Panzerblitz 80mm anti-tank rockets [3]. These weapons, adapted from the air-to-air R4M, were carried under the outboard wings. Additionally, a bomb could be carried on the underfuselage rack, giving a single FW 190 powerful ground-attack capabilities

Is this our F8?  Nope

Very nice.  I'd like to see those exact F-8 and F-8/U1 loadouts in the game.

nice pic

especially like the various loadouts ie 2x250 +DT and the 8x 50kg and that lovely 1000kg/1800kg egg!

ahhh it would be great to have them but we have been asking an awful long time for them.I think the 110G2 was HTC's gift to the LW fans as a jabo platform and what a jabo plane it is.it is a shame the 190f8 has no real defined differences(few extra 50kgs ) after going to the trouble of modeling it though.

A lot of this is because most the Allied fighters are larger planes than the 190, with greater load carrying capacity.

Yeah Funked but it doesn't make sense if the 190F8 could carry that loadout then why it isn't allowed in AH. Doesn't have to o as to why the allie's planes carry more it has to do that the LW counterpart is not armed with what it had.

what are the following?

Wfr Gr 28/32
Pzschr (panzerschrek?)
Pb 1,2
Er 4+4x50 (something + 4 50kg bombs?)
Pd 8,8cm

Would be nice to see some more armament options on the 190F... heck an 1800kg bomb would be awesome.

There are Allied planes missing loadouts too.  Let's not hijack this.  I want to see the loadouts on that chart in AH.

Drawings don't mean squat.  I'd rather see a translation of the text that came with this chart.

Er 4+4x50 (something + 4 50kg bombs?) I think its the name of the bomb rack for 4 50KG bombs.

Pb 1,2: Panzerblitz rockets AT version of the R4M I believe.


Wfr Gr 28/32: 28cm and 32cm rockets it seems???

Pzschr (panzerschrek?): I think they used that but it had limited effectiveness.

Pd 8,8cm: I dont have a clue :(

Watch as allied fans come to discredit this information, sigh we'll never see the correct loadouts for the F-8

Pd 8,8cm was probarly cannons firing downwards, not sure though.

Panzerblitz rockets were used in two version, later version had lower drag racks.

Not quite true Funked. The 190 F8 and some G versions could carry the 1800kg egg (3996 lbs), even the P47 won't match that. That's the same weight as an A20 carries. P38 would be able to carry the same too.

I want the R4M rockets especially.

AGJ, could you send me that PDF document? Please :)

I'll ignore this WHINE.  

Add more loadouts to the F-8!
