G series Fw190 was as fast as F series Fw190. 190G2 was as fast as the Fw190A5 and F3 (its immediate counterparts), 190G8 was as fast as the Fw190A8 and F8
Why would I want the G?. ..Because this time HTC couldn't avoid adding the fittings and weapons options the F8 also had (but we don't have here)...that is, extra armor, wing Drop Tanks and 250kg wing bombs.
F8 could carry those goodies, and rockets too, but we don't have them here. And I don't hold my breath to see them anytime soon.
Sorry Grunherz but G series is a waste of time. Fly an F, oh wait nobody does.
G8 would be the STANDARD 190 jabo in aces high. It would be WITHOUT QUESTION able to be fitted with wing bombs and drop tanks making it a long range jabo in the same league as the american fighterbombers.
BTW If I could do it, I'd never fly with cowl MGs in the 190, neither in the As, neither in the D, neither in the F. 190G had no cowl weapons. Yippieeeeeeeeee!
BTW; the 190F8 is little used in aces high because, ironically, AH's 190A8 with 30mm is by far better jabo than the F8 we have modelled. The F8 lacks the wing drop tanks, the wing heavy bombs, the anti-tank rockets and the extra armor...and has 2 less cannons than the A8. Still you ask why the F8 gets so little use?.
Sure, it can carry 4x50kg on the wings and has bubble canopy. But that is nothing compared with what this plane could carry in real life. Here the F8 is worthless. No more, no less.
