DCS World DCS: Fw 190 A-8 adds a detailed Fw 190 A-8 aircraft to DCS World. Designed for the German Luftwaffe by aircraft designer Kurt Tank in the late 1930s, the Fw 190 served as both a fighter and an attack bomber. The A version, known as the Anton, was powered by a large radial engine and was superior in many ways to the Bf 109 and Spitfire when introduced.

The Fw 190 A-8

The A-8 entered production in February 1944 with a BMW 801 D-2 radial engine. It performed well at low and medium altitudes, and its rugged engine and thicker engine armor were shared with the F-8 version. The Fw 190 A saw action on both the eastern and western fronts, where Allied pilots respected and feared it. Its firepower, durability and ease of flying also made it a frequent choice among Luftwaffe aces.

The aircraft carries two fuselage-mounted 13 mm MG 131 machine guns and four wing-mounted 20 mm MG 151/20E cannons. It can also carry unguided rockets and bombs. The Fw 190 later evolved into the Fw 190 D-9, which is also available in DCS World.

Cockpit and systems

The aircraft has a detailed six-degrees-of-freedom cockpit, with controls you can operate using the mouse. Its model includes accurate squadron markings and weapons, along with detailed instruments, weapons, engine, radio, fuel and electrical systems. Its flight physics are designed to convey the experience of flying the aircraft.

Single and multiplayer

You can fly the Fw 190 A-8 in single-player and multiplayer battles against the Spitfire LF and P-51D Mustang.
