Fw-190A

[zeppelinman]

I have recently become obsessed with the Fw-190A's. I would like to know which A variant performed the best (general manuverability-turn rate, roll rate, and climb rate) and why it did. I don't need to know about D's and how they're vastly superior. Any information would be appriciated.

There's this site here too:

FW 190 A-8 Performance




<-- waves to Erich. Do I owe you any info, mate?

Good to see you back.










Edit: From the same site:

FW 190 D-9 Flight Trials

and

FW 190 A-3 Performance


Some outline stuff:

Comparitive Performance of Fighter Aircraft

[Soren]

I wouldn't go to that site for performance figures on German a/c, the author of the site has a habbit of making stuff up.

Here's another interesting page related to the Fw 190 A from mhuxt's source where additional German performance figures are presented.

Also a couple of pages from US trials:

Fw-190 A8 is my personal fav, but I think that A6 also performed well
