D-13 was the last of the Fw-190D with the Jumo engine (213E two stage, three-speed unit running on B4 fuel). It was fitted with three MG-151/20 (2 in wing roots and 1 motorkanone). This was the dedicated fighter-bomber variant. R-11 field kit includes all-weather flying equipment.
The next in the series were the D-14 and D-15 using the DB-603 engine (airframe probably interchangeable with Ta-152C, but a lightweight version for low altitude work D-15 and high altitude interception D-14). Those would be used on the Ta-152C model (wing is actually a D-9 type instead of the low-drag "laminar flow" Ta-153 wing used on the Ta-152 series, but this would be the only airframe difference). Armament and range would necessitate a new FM/WM for the D-14 and D-15, which were armed as per the D-9.
The D-12 and D-13 fighter-bomber Doras only require an WM change really, as they primarily differed by armament, with cowling machine guns replaced by a motorkanone of 30mm or 20mm respectively. An FM of the Ta-152H would be well placed for historical fanatics, as they shared engine types but then again a fighter-bomber would never really use the high altitude capabilities of the engine. Mostly its benefits were for long range cruise, as these two models effectively replace the Fw-190G and F series of dedicated fighter-bombers.
What we'd really love to see is new D-12/13 and D-14/15 aircraft slots. These were set to make mass production for any strictly historical 1946 campaign, whilst aircraft like the Ta-152 series were only ever going to be produced in relatively small numbers (the main benefit of those types being long range capabilties without sacrificing high performance, they were the Luftwaffe Mustang and P-47N for all intents and purposes).

I have actually touched this beautifull aircraft when it was at the Champlins fighter museum in Mesa Arizona. I guess the story of this bird is that JG26 airfeild was overun by American forces while Gotz was on a mission and when he returned he posed for pictures then surrendered. The aircraft was sent stateside for flight testing then it rotted at some Texas University being vandalised by students and neglected. Thats where Champlin found it and bought it during the 70's and it wwas restored to flyable condition and sold to another museum in Washington state. The also had a 109E with an original DB601 !

I've seen that FW-190! It's at the Flying Heritage Museum in Everett, Washington and I live about 40 miles away from there and it's got a really neat paint job.
