General information

The Fw 190 A-5/U2 is a German fighter. It has been in the game since the start of the Open Beta Test prior to Update 1.27. "Würger" is the German nickname of this beast of a plane. It can be translated as slayer, choker, or strangler. They fit the English designation rather well, too: The "Butcher-bird".

The Fw 190s are fighters, however, this one can operate in a multi-role by loading external payloads. The added ordnance will increase the aircraft's damage dealing capability, however, it will also negatively affect the fighter weight and aerodynamics, thus its combat ability too. Using it as a fighter-bomber (German: "Jabo"(short for Jagdbomber)) is generally not advised, whereas this would typically be the duty of the 190 F-8.

The best load out for a bombing role is a single 500 kg bomb. This will allow for slight inaccuracy as the extra 50 kg bombs are usually useless except a direct hit. To attack, be 1 km (3,000 ft) above the target and dive with throttle back and combat flaps extended with the aiming recital just in front of the Target. At 300 m release the bomb and use full elevator to pull out of the dive (don't forget to retract combat flaps during pull-out). Note if the altitude is any lower without a timer when detonated, the bomb may also destroy you too. If attacking ships, attack inline with the Stern and bow to give you more of a target to hit, attacking from the port or starboard sides gives you a very small margin of error with the bomb falling short or going long past the ship.
