I thought they didn't see service before mid 1941 - as fighters. They certainly never took part in the Battle of Britain.

An auto-gyro? Was this combat capable, or an experimental aircraft during BOB? Can't see much practical use for one of these other than maybe recon flights.

I too have a feeling that Oleg mentioned that it would be flyable. If I remember correctly he mentioned the reason for having it as being that it was used in calibration of sound tracking devises, radar etc.
I think Oleg's other reason for including it was in order to demonstrate to third party developers the potential of the game engine in supporting rotary aircraft.

It will be fun to fly along the cliff tops in one!

For demonstration of what is possible with the engine without scripting.

He mentioned, that it's fun to fly on recon-missions. Whatever that means.

Used to provide a static point for radar calculations.

No.

The Fw 190 A-0 entered production in Nov 1940. That's two months after BoB ended.
