I was wondering if the FW190A5 and 190A8 could get the same "six" view as the 190F8.
The canopy strut ends about 1/2 way down in A5 and A8, while the F8 strut goes all the way back. It's not a big issue, but it seems it'd be easy to change with the next update.
Thanks for your time,
Milenko

The A-series canopy was as is represented in AH at this moment. The strut reached only where it does in AH.
The bubble canopy in the Fw190F and 190D9 had improved all around vision...still I'm not sure about wether the strut was all over the canopy, as it is right now in AH....or it was removed at all.
In the first case, then it's accurately represented in AH as it is now, no need to change anything.
In the second, the strut needs to be removed from the F8 and D9, but not modified in the 190As.

The bubble canopy is correct in AH. The strip should run the entire length of the bubble up to the front frame where the windscreen is. I was told this is where the two halves of the plexiglass were joined during manufacture, but I'm not 100% sure of that. Easy way to check the strip is to check out scale models. A good page with a lot of models is http://www.hyperscale.com. (http://www.hyperscale.com.) Sorry I helped shoot down your request milenko :(
