One of these 190A-6's would make a great addition to AHII.
Fw 190A-6/U3 Fighter-bomber, fitted with one ETC 501 underfuselage rack and 2 × ETC 250 underwing racks for a max load of 1 × 1,102 lb (500 kg) SC-500 and 2 × 551 lb (250 kg) SC-250 bombs or 2 × 66 Imp gal (79.25 US gal; 300 liter) drop tank for additional range.
Fw 190A-6/R1 Bomber-destroyer, armed with 2 × 20 mm MG 151/20 cannon and 2 × 0.312 in (7.92 mm) MG 17 guns, with an additional 4 × 20 mm MG 151/20 cannon in two WB 151A twin-gun containers scabbed under the wings.
Fw 190A-6/R2 Bomber-destroyer,armed with 2 × fixed 30 mm MK 108 cannon in the outboard wing positions, 2 × 20 mm MG 151/20 cannon in the inboard wing positions, and 2 × 0.312 in (7.92 mm) MG 17 guns on the upper nose. Max take-off weight was 10,362 lb (4.700 kg).

Fw 190A-6/R4 Fighter, produced only in prototype form as the Fw 190 V45, and fitted with the GM 1 power-boost system that injected nitrous oxide into the BMW 801D-2. This fighter was the forerunner for the BMW 801TS turbocharged engine that was installed in July 1944.

We need an early Fw190 a lot more than one in between the A-5 and A-8. We have no Fw190 from 1941 or 1942 when it was in ascendance over the RAF.

You mean the 190A-1 or 2?

Or A-3 or A-4. I don't think the A-1 saw much, if any, use. I am not an Fw190 expert by any stretch of the imagination though. I do know that the Fw190A-5 is from mid-1943, concurrent with our Spitfire Mk VIII.

A-3 would probably be the best compromise.
-
Agreed on that.
As for the A-6, it's the same as an A-5 but can carry MG151/20s or Mk108s outboard....
Those weapons options (the pods/racks) you list were all available for both the A-4 and A-5 as well. They never carried GM-1, by the way. That would only help above 30k or so.

You might be right on the A-1. From my understanding, A-0, A-1 and maybe A-2 did not see action however the A-2 was the first. i believe, to be put into service. Also, i believe the A-2 had lots of issue with the engin that burns out after 20-30 flying hours.
