seems you have problems navigating through the different parts of the site,

http://www.ww2.dk/air/jagd/jg2.htm

for example, so what were JG2 flying to the end of march 45 then......

not a real surprise.

Still waiting for some actual evidence to support your claim.

So different units had different jobs.

I thought that it was 109's they sent to attack escorts.

If it is nonsense, then what do you call what you have posted Crumpp?

One and the same.

So you don't have the delivery reports ask for to fill in the blank months. How then can you make the statement you did with regard to the number of Fw190A-9s in service?

And you Crumpp have posted facts?

Keep it civil! Last warning!

MiloMorai, what's the source for the production figures you posted? Is it available online? Sorry if I missed it.

Obviously you have not followed those links you keep posting. There is no type specific data for orders of battle beyond December 1944 on that website, fruit bat.

Find something else instead of parroting the same non- relevant information.


Wait a minute, you can't. All you can do is antagonize in the hopes the thread gets shut down.

It is a fact that all the available detailed data for 1945 shows the Fw-190A9 normal fighter replacing the Fw-190A8 normal fighter in Geschwaders operating Anton fighters.

Weird that fact conforms to Focke Wulf, GmbH stated plans and why they even built an Fw-190A9.

Crazy world, huh!

Considering the improved performance of the A-9 over the A-8 at least as portrayed in IL-2 now, why wouldn't they switch over?

Buuuuuut when it comes to shooting down bombers, perhaps the extra armor on the A-8 is worth more. It's not like the bombers were outrunning and outmanuevering them.

I don't expect the Germans to have done the smartest things with their fighter production given how they never had an equivalent to fighter command (as Galland asked for) and spent more time avoiding Hitler's wrath than getting things right. There was also "Buddy" Milsch sabotaging development in favor of ground forces and I dunno how many little intrigues that held up the real air advances that were eventually seen in the 262 but too little and too late.

I asked crumppp to post the production records he claims to have proving that all-weather A-8/R11s predominated over ordinary A-8 day fighters and all he can come up with is this nonsense AND he can't even get this one right - its Keyser Söze. :lol:

You haven't posted any detailed data to support your claim Crumpp.

He (or somebody) actually posted this years ago ;)
