The Best Fw-190 Variant...?

[Erich]

yes it was better than the A-9. althought the A-9 had more engine power than the A-8 and reduced armament mostly to lighten the load to intercept P-51's it still had problems maintaing consistant altitidue performance..........

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

You have to remember that the Dora was a more advanced version of the A series, so naturally it is better. As Erich has posted before though, the Dora was only an interem solution until the Ta-152 was ready. The Dora did see more combat though than the Ta-152.

And sorry Lanc the Dora is still better looking then the A.

Go hang your head in shame NS, youve shamed me.

 

[Nonskimmer]

Never! I hold my head high, as I strut proudly through the throngs of people, shouting "I think the A looks better!!".


But the D looks ok too.

 

[Soren]

To me the Dora 9 looks better !

This thread is for the performance side of things...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i'm not saying it was the best just asking a question, was it the F that was developed to carry a torpedo??

 

[cheddar cheese]

No I think that was a version of the A-8 or A-9, cant remember...I think the F was developed as more of a focused dive-bomber than the A...

ok thanks...............
