## About This Content
Designed for the German Luftwaffe by famed aircraft designer Kurt Tank in the
late-1930s, the Fw -190 was the backbone of the Luftwaffe in both fighter and
attack bomber roles. Powered by a large radial engine, the A version of the
Focke-Wulf 190 was superior in many ways to 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. The Spitfire LF Mk.IX and the Fw 190 A-8 make
excellent counterparts for DCS World. The Fw 190 later evolved into the Fw 190
D-9, also available on DCS World.
Many of the Luftwaffe’s aces racked up their impressive kill counts in the Fw
190 A due to its impressive fire power, excellent low to medium altitude
performance, durability, and ease of flying. It saw action on both the eastern
and western fronts where it was both respected and feared by allied pilots.
Armament included two fuselage-mounted 13-mm MG 131 machine guns and four
wing-mounted MG 151/20E 20mm cannons. The Anton could also be loaded with
unguided rockets 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 to excellent low- and
medium-altitude performance, the engine was also very rugged. Along with the
F-8 version, it also had thicker armor around the engine. The engine also
received the C3 injection system that provided an emergency boost of 1,980 PS
in short durations.
