|  a note but the oversized MK 103 external package on the Fw 190A was not used operationally but only as a test bed. we have discussed this on the site numerous times as to why it was not used. the same applied for the external short barreled Mk 108 in a waffen pod container

 | Erich, can you please tell me some more about this. I read the reason for dismissing those MK 103s was because it "twisted" the wings, I suppose because of the heavy recoil. This would not have been the case for the MK 108s. Right? And do you know anything about tests being done by external cannons under the belly and sychronized with the prop? I was once thinking of a Hs 123 with a MK 101/103 strapped underneath its belly... That is the main reason why I am enquiring about this. Kris
