There's an important loadout for the Fw 190 F-8 that's yet to be modeled: the Panzerblitz anti-tank rocket. From what I've read 190s were equipped with this weapon from early 1945:

While you are at it, could you build correct WfrGr21? The ones we have in game are way too small..

correct size


new vs old

A great idea. While you're at it, could you also remove the hungarian fin flash on the default German skin for the Fw190F-8? Having a German Fw190F-8 campaign where all the German F-8s have a Hungarian tricolor on the fin really kills immersion.

Cheers and thanks for all the wonderful patches,

I hope the Spitfire Mk VB/VC will finally be able to carry bombs (2 x 250 / 1 x 500).

I thought 1x500 was for b and c, but 2x250 only for c. B-Wing would not support the wing bomb racks. Am I right? Also, were the 2x250 used in service or was it just a short term trial?

Yes, you are right. The 2 x 250 Vc combination was used intensively in Malta.

Quote:

European operations had taken precedence over those in the Middle and Far East theatres. The first overseas deployment of Spitfires as fighters took place on 7 March, when 15 tropicalised Mk Vs carrying 90-gallon slipper fuel tanks took off from the flight deck of HMS Eagle bound for Malta, 600 miles (960 km) away. Subsequent deliveries in the same manner turned the air battle for Malta in the RAF's favour. One aircraft suffered fuel-feed failure and became the first Spitfire without a hook to land on an aircraft carrier. By August, the Spitfire had entirely taken over the air defence of Malta. To relieve the aircraft carriers from their ferry role, Spitfire Mk VCs were fitted with an extra internal 29-gallon tank and an external jettisonable 170-gallon tank. Armament was reduced to two machine guns. In this form, the aircraft were able to fly the 1,100 miles (1,750 km) from Gibraltar to Malta, where the extra tanks were removed and the armament refitted. These flights commenced in October. Malta-based Spitfires of 126 Squadron were the first to carry two 250lb bombs, which they did during operations over Sicily.

Talking of Malta,does a Malta map are in plans for SoW?
If not,it would be perfect for a italian campaign.

SoW the series, or SoW:BoB the first instalment? As I understand it a Mediterranean sequel/upgrade/version is a likely follow-up, but BoB is what it says - the Battle of Britain - and any maps will reflect this. Exactly how big they will be hasn't been revealed, but I'd think stretching to Malta would be unlikely.

Apparently the likely SoW Mediterranean follow-up is one reason TD haven't been permitted to produce a proper Med map.
