/images/notams/notams19/dcsw0612.jpgThe Fw 190 A-8 is our next entry into our line of warbirds for DCSWorld War II! Designed for the German Luftwaffe by famed aircraft designer KurtTank in the late-1930s, the Fw 190 was the backbone of the Luftwaffein both fighter and attack bomber roles. Powered by a large radialengine, the A version of the Focke-Wulf 190 was superior in many waysto the Bf 109s and Spitfires at the time of its introduction. In fact,this led to the development of the Mk.IX version of the Spitfire. TheSpitfire LF Mk.IX and the Fw 190 A-8 make excellent counterparts forDCS World. The Fw 190 later evolved into the Fw 190 D-9, alsoavailable on DCS World. Many of the Luftwaffe's aces racked up their impressive kill countsin the Fw 190 A due to its impressive fire power, excellent low tomedium altitude performance, durability, and ease of flying. It sawaction on both the eastern and western fronts where it was bothrespected and feared by allied pilots. Armament included twofuselage-mounted 13 mm MG 131 machine guns and four wing-mounted MG151/20E 20 mm cannons. The aircraft could also be loaded with unguidedrockets and bombs. The A-8 version of the Fw 190 entered production in February 1944,and it was powered by a BMW 801 D-2 radial engine. In addition toexcellent low- and medium-altitude performance, the engine was alsovery rugged. Along with the F-8 version, it also had thicker armoraround the engine. The engine also received the C3 injection systemthat provided an emergency boost of 1,980 PS in short durations.
