Thank you, aviatorsneah, for your helpful suggestions.
I found some more information on this site:
http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/archive/i ... -1173.html. I hope I am not violating AAA protocol by posting the link.
It seems that the use of the Fw-190 as a torpedo plane was one of those late-war stop gap measures that never fully took off (no pun intended).
Before I read the infor at the link posted above, I had already made a few mission based on the Norway map, including Fw-190 A5/U14 attacking Allied shipping off the coast of Norway, largely because I like the map and it seemed to fit the use of this particular aircraft. Another option would have been the Baltic.
Perhaps I will get more specific info on the use of the Fw-190 in that role. If not, I could still make a fictional, "what if" campaign set in the last weeks or months of WWII.
Nonetheless, I would appreciate further info on the subject. I do not have an extensive research library on WW II aircraft, but perhaps those who do, could direct me to relevant sources, other than those already mentioned by you.
Thanks again,
RB
