Since only 7 prototypes were built and never saw action, I doubt you'd see them added to the plane set.

That would be like me asking for the P-38K :)

Of the seven prototypes built,  four of them were assigned to the Verbandfuhrerschule GdJ (Command of fighter school) and one to JV44.  The other two were just test beds and didn't have any armament.  While only one D-11 was assigned to a combat unit, there is no historical record that this one D-11 saw combat and the D-11 never entered into production.

There's as much chance of the D-11 being added to the planeset as the F8 or a snowball's chance in Hell.

I know it will never come to the game, and i know its very rare, im just dreaming of it is all ;). Yes JV44 Wurger-Staffel used the 190D-11, for it was designed for souly for speed so it could kill incomming allied P51's from swooping in and killing landing/taking off 262 jet fighters.
