D-shere Wrote:Was somewhat disappointed with IL2 1946 decause it didn't have the FW-190D-13 anywhere.
But since the werknummer indicates only 17 D-13's were built, that would explain why there aren't D-13's in IL2.
FW 190 D-13 Built in 1945 Fighter
FW 190 D-13/R5 Fighter-bomber
FW 190 D-13/R11 Dirty weather fighter

I don't have any info on the perormance of the Jumo213EB engine, which would help the modders immensely.
D-12 was supposedly similar but with 30mm engine mounted cannon.
Probably best to have it as a weapon option instead.
A book by Aero Details indicates that two D-15's were built, D-15 being an A-8 converted to D-15 by grafting a TA152C nose and tail onto the frame.
Unfortunately for me, the info is only in book form and I am having some trouble finding the book.
(This one probably should go over in experimental Axis planes anyway until more info is dug up.)

Added to to the list and check them if I got everything right. But if you ever find any blueprint, please post them.
