Rasmus, I was also wondering why it's being produced if it wasn't used historically, and have asked about it on the tester forum.
In early, mid or late 1942? I'm talking about early 1942, and the FW 190A enters production in October 1941 I believe. In the 1942 campaign, no units start with the FW 190A and only 20 are in the pool, the rest of the production seems to have disappeared to other fronts, possibly as historical.
Hi Pieter,
Well the short answer as u are getting at ur self if not 100% correct, is that the FW190A was at periode seen as a superior plane. It was needed against the better pilots and planes aka West front and Afrika, where the russian pilots and planes wasnt in high regard by germans so ME109 was sufficient on the eastern front. Also the airwar on the eastern front was in generally done at fairly low altitude. Some pilots did prefere the Me109 over the FW190, tho.
Hench my comment that FW190 production numbers is maybe to high or should start later. Considering this is a east front only game.
I know the new beta alters some of the figther losses and i think it needed. So i hasnt been so sad u been getting more planes than u possibly should have. When u look at the losses in 1941/42 the german losses pre latest patch which i havent tried yet seems out of wack if u wana compare to historical losses.
After my first try as german in the '41 CG, where i basicly left airdoctrine at 50% before use i had lost well over 2500 planes by start of winter '41 and my airforces was non excisting.
I've been VERY conservative since to keep losses down. Flying much much less than historically since the losses seemed so high and it hasnt been needed much.
The kill ratio in '41 early 42 historicly and we talking after day 1 was simply unbelieble. I cant seem to recreate those and the control u have over the airwar is limited. So not sure what exactly else to do, tho i might learn. So i just been flying much less. I mean, i typically in 1 mission might lose to what ever causes operational/enemy air/flak as many planes as german Me109 Staffel lost in an entire month of intensive figthing historicly.
By 18 July the Geschwader had chalked up its 500th Soviet air claim, and on 1 August became the third Geschwader to claim 1,000 air kills. In the period 22 June - 5 December 1941 the unit destroyed 1,078 Soviet aircraft in return for 46 losses in aerial combat and a single fighter on the ground[1].
I mean even if we assume the kills are not correct, looking at the own losses which i assume is pretty correct. Added operational losses u still at a figur that i cant seem to get any where near. Assuming i fly as much as in this case JG54 did.
Again i know the patch should lower figther loses, but i still wonder if its enough. Time will tell.
Kind regards and merry xmas all,
Rasmus
