How do we get the Fw190 into service a year earlier? If they use an earlier, already reliable radial engine, they get nowhere near the power the Fw190 had.I read that the FW190 entered service in Spring 1941, if it had been a year earlier and been in the Battle Of Britain, would it have made any sort of a significant difference for the Luftwaffe? Something that was running through my head.
Yes i agree but lets say they used that engine. Seems fair. Would undependable weigh up to the advantage? And would could the uk do? And more more important can they in that period?How do we get the Fw190 into service a year earlier?

Subtract hundreds of horsepower from the Fw190, it does not have grossly superior performance against the Spitfires. The RAF continues to inflect unacceptable casualties on Luftwaffe bombers.Yes i agree but lets say they used that engine. Seems fair. Would undependable weigh up to the advantage?

Hundreds you say? Well dont know about that. Lets invite D Deleted member 68059Subtract hundreds of horsepower from the Fw190, it does not have grossly superior performance against the Spitfires. The RAF continues to inflect unacceptable casualties on Luftwaffe bombers.

Bramo 323 might have a larger frontal area. Dont know how much difference there was in weight.
So the 323 installed would occur a massive CoG shift in the aircraft
Is there any reason why the BMW 117 would be developed into a reliable engine before the BMW 801?... instead BMW could have continued developing their 117, a 35L liquid cooled V-12. Resulting in a mature engine sooner. And obviously in that scenario Kurt Tank would have designed the 190 for an inline from the start. Thread: In retrospect, were the BMW radial engine developments a mistake?
If the Luftwaffe can have the FW190 in the BoB the RAF can have the Spitfire MkIII, balance restored. Unfortunately the Hurricane is knocked out of the fight.I read that the FW190 entered service in Spring 1941, if it had been a year earlier and been in the Battle Of Britain, would it have made any sort of a significant difference for the Luftwaffe?

Why would the RLM develop three approximately 35litre engines in parallel?
