Nevertheless, if we can't have the DB 601 and the BMW 801 is not ready, then it must be the Jumo for the early Fw 190.They did well with Junkers Jumo 213s. Anything with a Jumo 211 went 30-40mph slower than stuff DB601 powered.
Perhaps the Jumo 211 Fw 190 can be given the Mitsubishi A6M treatment of stripping weight.
But really, the Bf 109E is fine as the universal Luftwaffe fighter until the Fw 190 enters service in 1941-42.
