By (early?) 1943, the 211N and P (= intercooled N) are becoming available. The N was comparable to the fully-rated DB 601E, or to the Merlin 20 series running on +14 psi. The P was perhaps 5% more powerful than the N.Jumo 211J may be better than BMW 801 at the start. (I'm not sure when the more powerful Jumo 211s became available).
The best of the lot, 211R, was too late, probably not available until 1944, by what time Jumo has the superior 213 in production (although two Ta 154 prototypes were lost due the 213 problems).
Agreed. Engine needs to go further outboard on this frankenplane.The inner section of the wing is what keeps the propellers from cutting the fuselage.
