Thanks Skunkmeister. To make clear to everybody, The Fw 190A-8 that were sturmbocks had the GM-1 system installed. Actually if you read carefully the main difference between the Fw 190A-7 and the Fw 190A-8 was the re-design of the fuselage in order to accept an extra tank which was used as a MW50, a GM-1 or (more rarely) an extra fuel tank.In IL-2 neither the MW50 or GM-1 versions are present.The Fw 190A-8 in IL-2 runs in 1.65 ATA because the B4 fuel version is modelled.There is no chance that a Fw 190A-8 Sturmbock was ever used with a B4 fuel AND without a GM-1 system, the way it is modelled in IL-2.So if you want something more than just visual modelling of how sturmbock really was, you should be aware that there is a long way to go.
