| Does anyone know if the Fw-190 ever went operational in the interceptor role with a six 20mm cannon layout? I saw one in a book that had two pod mounted Mg151/20 on each wing, and a 20mm in each wingroot, designed to bring down B-17's, but i dont know if it was an experimental or saw action, does anyone out there know anything more? | |

Country: | It was called the Fw-190A-8/R1, and it carried 2 underwing WB 151 containers with 4X MG 151 20mm cannon, on top of the 2X wingroot 20mm....

Country: | sorry to have to correct you Les but the only six 2cm packed to kill bomber destroyer was the Fw 190A-5/U12 used by JG 1 and I./JG 11. Staffelkapitän Oberleutnant Hans Pancitius of 3./JG 11 flew one and was lost over the north seas chasing returning B-17's. He was a friend of the familie. I./JG 11 used them to quite a success but during the summer of 43 and into the fall it was outclassed by the A-6 and the heavier A-5/U12 was Thunderbolt point 50 fodder. the sucka was just too unwielding in flight and too slow in a fighter vs fighter combat.
there was never an A-8/R1 except in a mock-up
now you know the story behind that heavy mama

Country: | U are right about the A-8/R1....
I forgot that the Fw 190A-8, like previous models, could be equipped with different Rustsatz kits: R1, R2, R3, R4, R6, R7, R8, R11, R12; but R1, R3 and R4 were abandoned shortly thereafter and generally R2, R6, R7 and R8 kits were used....
Fw 190A-5/U12 - proposal for heavier armament consisting of six MG 151/20 E cannons. They were mounted under the wing in two additional WB 151/20 pods with two cannons in each pod; complete armament could be 2x1 MG 17, 2x1 MG 151/20 E and 2x2 MG 151/20 E. It was also a model for Rustsatz 1 (R1) kit for Fw 190A; two planes (BH+CC, W.Nr. 150813 and BH+CD, W.Nr. 150814) with such armament were completed.
Fw 190A-6/R1 - attack fighter with armament increased to six cannons and two machine guns (2x1 MG 17, 2x1 MG 151/20 E and 2x2 MG 151/20 E), by mounting of the WB 151/20 underwing pylons with cannons. This modification was based on the A-5/U12 version. In spite of previous plans, only a few planes with this armament were in Luftwaffe service units (e.g. in JG 11).
