Just wondering how popular the F8 will be in the MA? How does it compare to the Chog for field attacks?

S!

 With the current Hispano's on the C-Hog the F-8 will not be as effective with it's 20mm MG151/20...But a VERY interesting Jabo indeed!

Sorry, its just a scan from a little book I have, No info on when and where.

I'm hoping the F8 will have all the extra armour modelled over the A8, should make field/CV attacks more survivable

I see. Why is that so exciting? Did some idiot demand "proof" of yet another decent LW armament option(eg: 13mm on Ju 88)?

Fw 190F-8/U1 - long range fighter-bomber (provided as replacement for the Fw 190G-8 withdrawn from production). The plane had underwing pylons installed from the Bf 110 V.Mitt-Schloss (Verkleidetes Messerschmitt Schloss) for mounting two 300 liter fuel tanks and additional fuel pumps inside the wings. Some planes had ETC 503 bomb racks in place of the pylons that gave the capability of carrying two additional 250 kg bombs (in this case the fuel tank was mounted under the fuselage) on ETC 501 racks. It was possible was to mount bombs on all points (2x250 kg and 1x500 kg), this reduced range but made the Fw 190 a dangerous plane carrying 1000 kg of bombs.

Other niceties:

Fw 190F-8/U2 - torpedo plane with two underwing ETC 503 racks or under-fuselage mounted ETC 504 (previously ETC 501) bomb rack. The plane was equipped with a special sight system, TSA 2A (Tiefsturzangle 2A) for precise aerial torpedo BT (Bombentorpedo) aiming. Using this torpedo it was possible to attack targets from a higher altitude and from a higher angle than in the case of an ordinary aerial torpedo LT (Lufttorpedo). It was planned to use two BT 400 or one BT 700 torpedo. Other armament was reduced to two fuselage mounted MG 131 machine guns. A small number of these planes were in service with 11./KG200.

Fw 190F-8/R1 - fighter-bomber with four underwing mounted ETC 50 bomb racks for 50 kg bombs, later replaced by ETC 71 dispensers for 70 kg bombs (e.g. AB 70 cluster bomb). There are planes known with both dispenser types mounted in pairs of the different types (2x ETC 50 + 2x ETC 71) under the wings.

Juzz, don't get your underwear in a bunch. I was asking where it was taken because the background looks familiar.

Pic shows the extra armour added to the F's on top of what the A8 has already.

Alfred Price's book "FW190 in Combat" mentions this about the tactic's used by 190F pilots on the Russian front......"Against the enemy tanks and armoured vehicles we usually made skip bombing attacks, running in at speeds of around 485 k.m./h. [300 m.p.h.] at between 4 and 10 m [15 and 30 ft] above the ground and releasing the bomb just as the tank disappeared beneath our engine cowling.  The 250 kg bombs used during these attacks would either skip off the ground and into the tank, or else smash straight into the tank, the bombs were fused with a one second delay to give us time to get clear before they went off.  It was a very accurate form of attack and we used it often against tanks we caught in open country."

Whats the chances of getting the 1 second delay modeled ?

Il-2 will allow rocket and bomb fuse delays - AH should steal that feature!
