Which performance should have the new Fw-190A-4?
#1

At the moment we have the new Fw-190A-3. This plane mainly served in 1942. The radial engine has the performance of 1942. The cockpit is still from 1943 but the A-3 will get a new cockpit with 1942 instruments.

The A-4 is nothing else than an A-3 but with another radio system. Production began in summer 1942 but there where several updates in early 1943. This plane served until the end of 1943.


We have 3 choices:

1) Like FW-190A-3
This plane will be like the A-3. The only difference whould be the radio antenna like we have in the stock version.

2) we make an early 1943 A-4
This means that the motor will get a little update. This whould give the A-4 + round about 10km/h in most regions up to 6000 meters. The A-4 whould get the cockpit like the stock version (instruments from 1943).

3) Like A-3 but with gm1 mixture
This whould rise the top speed in regions over 6000 meters (plus 15 km/h). Cockpit from the stock A-4

------

I personally whould make version number two, because I do not have much information of the GM1 mixture.

I also do not know how many A-4 where modified with the gm1 mixture. It whould also be very bad for the P47 for example. The operational room for this plane whould be very small because the FM only goes up to 10.ooo meters.

I know that many A-4 served in 1943 and they had a little bit more top speed than the A-3. This whould relieve the allied pilots online. So they do not have to fight against A-5 all the time. The server admin could limit the A-5 online but luftwaffe pilots still have an A-4 which is a good fighter plane.
