Fw 190 - numbers for A-8 and A-9

[Crumpp]

There is no need to guess or read into the documents as per the usual suspects.


It is clear the FW190A9 is the replacement Anton for the FW-190A8.

Are we really having this discussion?

side by side with the 2500 A-8's that were built in parallel to the 900 A-9's.

You also do not have the production details for the blocks. Almost all the FW-190A8's produced in the later part of 1944 are all weather variants or assault ships.

Oskar Bösch went thru 13 FW190A8's during his time with IV/JG3 Sturm. His unit had a 500% casualty rate.

Both are specialized variants for specific units and neither is designed as an air superiority variant.

Prove these comments with some properly sourced info - seeing as you claim to have the production records its up to you to post them; showing the loss records of one Jagdgeschwader simply shows that that one unit was equipped with A-9s, nothing more.

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.
