Fuel Crisis in DCS WWII

[Isegrim]

Who told you that? All of the models were named Wurger. Same way the P-51 was named the Mustang. Or do you think only the Allison engined P-51 were nicknamed the Mustang?

 

There was no special name for radial engined 190s. Each version had it's name designated from the phonetic alphabet.

 

Just search "fw 190 D-9 wurger" in google and see how many hits you get.

 

Original german books which i have here from 1919 to 1945 told me that.

 

Or have you ever heard about FW-190 F5 *Friedrich*.

 

So iam just saying again the phonetic names where used for the Me/BF-109 *Anton, Emil, Friedrich......Kurfürst.

Exept the FW-190 D *Dora*.

 

Extra1: Google *LOL* :doh:

Extra2: It doesnt matter how other Countrys named their Planes they where all different. And you try to get facts out of that for yourself. Wow thats Poor guy.

And Anton. Bombers/ground attack generally weren't given names from the phonetic alphabet (which the F and G models were).

 

I sure would like to see these original German books where it says that the D-9 wasn't to be called a "Shrike".

See I have this secret book I found in an old abandone bunker that says The D-9 was called the Würger. But I can't post it for some reason. You'll have to take my word for it.

 

Extra1: You can find more information through Google than you will ever have in your house.

Extra2: English please? Was that a poor attempt in trying to insult me? I was trying to demonstrate to you how naming conventions work.

 

I'd also like to note, that the Würger-Staffel, a unit created in 1944, used Doras in defense of Me 262 Airfields.

All FW 190A models from the A-4 onwards had the rear auxilary tank required for MW-50. In fact, some A-4 and A-5 with MW-50 models were used during the channel battles for combat trials.

 

That said MW-50 was never used operationally prior to A-9 because it was not needed (C3 allowed high boost ratings).

 

The A-9 on the other hand saw a high increase in manifold pressure, from 1.58 ata (1st gear)/ 1.65 ata (2nd gear) to 1.82 ata (both gears), which increased speed performance by 20-30 km/h.

 

See chart:

Ignore the table on the top, because for some reason the 1.82 ata is not listed, but it's there on the graph.

 

EDIT: Correction, not sure if the A-6 and A-7 had the rear fuselage tank. The A-8 most definitively had it though.

 

 

Where did you get your information from? :doh:

 

Only A-8/A-9 had an auxilary tank. FW190 Antons never used MW50!!!

 

The first increase of power output was extra injection of C3 fuel together with a higher boost. This was allowed only up to 1000 meters and only for jabos. That was in summer 1943.

 

By july 1944, it was adopted for fighters, but without the extra fuel injection, only higher boost. It could be used for the Bodenlader and the Höhenlader. Increase in speed was approx. 20-30kmh. Machines with "Erhöhte Notleistung" had a yellow circle on the MG131 cover.

 

MW50 and BMW801, forget that! It was tested, but was never used in a combat unit.

I read somewhere saying MW50+BMW801 leads to damage/crack on some engine conponents. So after test, German forbid MW50 usage on 801.

That's correct.

 

But the more important thing was, the increase of speed was only around 10km/h...
