I have shot down many AI FW-190 A-3 planes in QMB, and explosions are very likely with .50 cal MG's and cannons. I even caused an explosion with the .30 cal MG's of Hurricane Mk.IIb before any smoke was visible (hundreds of hits, though). My quess is that A-3 explodes as easily as A-4 gets fuel leak, perhaps fuel tank just explodes when it should start leaking. Every explosion has been caused by hits into fuselage from behind in different angles, and I haven't seen any fire or smoke from the fuel tank of A-3.
