Yes the F was faster and could easily top 300 however it was also lighter than the G. As for the Fw-190 yes it was truely a bomber killer. It was remarkable at doing its job of bring down B-17's. Which did not see to hard to do with a Fw-190.
There's something funny about the Fw-190; when its sitting on the ground the main landing gear looks as if they haven't fully opened up but they're actually made that way. I don't know.. Maybe its just me... I just have this itch of getting to one of those fighters and pushing those wheels a little farther apart...
Yeah I always thought the same thing that the struts were too long but at the same time there is probably a reason for this like to keep the blades from striking the ground. I dont know if that is the reason but it is the best reason I can come up with. If anyone knows the reason for this it would be great to know. Or maybe it was to correct the problem that the Me-109 had.
More than that. That's at least because JG-7 shot down 427 aircraft, 300 being four-engined heavies. And then there's the other geschwader's using them like Kommando Nowotny, JV44, Kommando Schenck etc. etc. I don't know their kill counts.
