Focke Wulf Fw 190 F-8

History of the creation:
In early 1942, the RLM clear that they in the foreseeable future to take care of the compensation for his battle aircraft of type Henschel Hs 123 and also Junkers Ju 87 has already shown its shortcomings in the bombing of England. To this request he responded ing. Kurt Tank, that fixed the fighter aircraft Fw 190. Modification consisted of the installation of three pylons ETC 50 under the wings and under the fuselage, the aircraft could carry a total of twelve padesátikilogramových bombs. The mass of pum and supplemented by the armour, however, was already so large that they had to be removed the outer wing cannon MG FF and at the same time it was decided that the bomb load will be draping only under the fuselage. First was a project of attack aircraft designated Fw 190 Rechnerische Ankündigung 2 (Fw 190 Ra-2) and the modified aircraft was designated the Fw 190 A-0/U4 (Werk-Nr.0008).

Mass-produced warplanes Fw 190 A-4/U3 (18 aircraft) and of the Fw 190 a-5/U3 (63 aircraft) were actually fighter-bombers, but have shown that they are fighting a very good weapon, and on the basis of these good experiences, it was decided that will be produced by a strafing Fw 190 F. Version of the Fw 190 A4/U3 was identified as Fw 190 F-1 (18 units) and Fw 190 A-5/U3 became the Fw 190 F-2 (271). Another version of the Fw 190 F-3 had also a considerable expansion, was produced from to In.1943 in IV.1944 and the number of produced aircraft was 247. Under the fuselage it was possible to carry a single bomb weighing 250 - 500 kg, it allowed the set of R1 - mounting hardpoint ETC 501. Set R2 constitute the two cannons MK 103 hanging under the wings, but in practice has not been used. The three aircraft were tested in the set R3 - three cannons MK 103, the greater the amount of Fw 190 F-3 was fitted with tropical filters, for the fight in Africa. For the production versions of the Fw 190 F-4, F-5 and F-6 as not, the last two versions were to be powered by nevyráběným engine BMW 801 F. In the end there is no production version of the Fw 190 F-7, which was based on a fighter version of the Fw 190 a-7, the latter, however, was soon replaced by a version of the Fw 190 A-8, so there is a cancellation F-7.

The most produced version was the Fw 190 F-8, that was based on the fighter version of the Fw 190 A-8. The fuselage machine guns the MG 17 have been replaced by more effective the MG 131 and motor unit was identical to that of the fighter counterpart BMW 801D-2, in which it was possible to engine power increase device C3-Einspritzung, it meant that the filling pressure of the engine increased to 1.67 atm and the suction side of the compressor has been injected with C3 fuel, in this way it was possible to increase the performance of the engine in the ground floor heights of up to about 300 hp, using, however, increased fuel consumption, which was necessary to compensate for the installation of additional fuel tanks with a capacity of 115 litres in the fuselage. The weight of this tank, it was necessary to call by sliding the hardpoint ETC 501 200 mm forward, it was maintained balance of aircraft. The Fw 190 F-8 during the production, which lasted nearly a year (III.1944 - II.1945) made a lot of changes and improvements, for example vypuklejší cabin with improved views. For specific tasks were assembled sets

Umrüstbausat:
the Fw 190 F-8/U1 - pylon ETC 501 under the fuselage and two pylons ETC 503 under the wings, this allowed it to 3x 250 kg bomb.
the Fw 190 F-8/U2 - torpedo version that didn't make it into mass production, could carry one torpedo BT 700 on hardpoint ETC 501, or two torpedoes BT 400 on pylons ETC 503. The designation was changed to the Fw190 F-8/R16.
the Fw 190 F-8/U3 - torpedo version of the hardpoint ETC 502 could carry torpedo BT 1400, had to be extended tail wheel and extended up by a cylindrical surface. The designation was changed to the Fw 190 F-8/R15. Made was a small number.
Fw l90 F-8/U4 - it was a night attack aircraft with the equipment for years without sight, FuG 125 Hermine, autopilot PKS 12A and radiovýškoměr FuG 101. The fuselage guns were deleted, under the wings of two hangers, ETC 503. Shock of the flames on the exhaust pipes. Two tanks with a volume of 300 litres under the wings. the entire cabin lit up by the ultraviolet lamp. Made one piece (Werk-Nr.586596) change the designation of the Fw 190 F-8/R13.
the Fw 190 F-8/U5 - a torpedo aircraft, a simplified variant of the internal equipment of the Fw 190 F-8/U2 produced a mass.
Or sets of Rüstsatz, which jepro Fw 190 F-8 unknown six:
the Fw 190 F-8/R1 - mountings ETC 50 under the wings, later hangers, ETC 71.
the Fw 190 F-8/R3 - 2x cannon MK 103 30-caliber mm placed under the wings, only two aircraft.
the Fw 190 F-8/R13 - aircraft for night operations corresponded to approximately the Fw 190 F-8/U-4
the Fw 190 F-8/R14 - a torpedo plane, of torpedo LTF5b or LT1B, the engine of the BMW 801 TS, only tests
the Fw 190 F-8/R15 - přeznačený Fw 190 F-8/U3
the Fw 190 F-8/R16 - přeznačený Fw 190 F-8/U2

Tests weapon systems:
The Fw 190 F-8 was tested various armament, noting sure to stand the tests of guided missiles air-to-air X4 Ruhrstahl, the rocket was controlled by using wire with a diameter of 0.2 mm, the rockets were tested on the five planes. Later they were carried out tests with the more modern missiles Ruhrstahl X7 (Ru 374) Rotkäpchen, Henschel 298 (120 kg rocket with a range of 1.5 km) and the Fw 190 V20 conducting tests manévrující cougars BV 246 Hagelkorn. Test cruise missiles were not very successful, somewhere I found information about a 20-30% success rate.

Another interesting weapon tests, which engage the Fw 190 F-8 were rpgs Panzerschreck 1, these rpgs were hanged after three under each wing by pylons ETC 71. Later they were tested more modern versions of the PD 8,8 Panzerschreck 2 with a calibre of 88 mm, that was installed after two or four pieces under each wing again in the pylons ETC 71. A few aircraft were armed with these weapons tested on the eastern front, the drawback was the small range (about 150 m) and small accuracy. Other interesting weapons rocket launchers SG 113 AND Förstersonde caliber of 77 mm, which were two to three vertical mainly built into the wings, automatic blow was the change of the electromagnetic field under the attack aircraft during the overflight of an enemy tank. So how waxed soviet tank unions, so attempts to implement dire than this before ideas, one of them was the installation of the flamethrower Gero II.

On the contrary, for an effective anti-tank gun can be considered missile Panzerblitz (Pb 1) of the test from September 1944. Panzerblitz came out of the ground to air unguided rockets R4M, on which was mounted a warhead M8 caliber 80 mm, this missile was then able to break through the armour plate of a thickness of 90mm. Shots were fired at a distance of 200 m from the target and the speed of the aircraft in the assault could not exceed 490 km/h. Under each wing of the Fw 190 F-8 was suspended after six rockets and later even eight missiles. The missile program was conducted in pairs. By the end of February 1945 was made 115 of these Focke-Wulfů Fw 190 F-8/Pb 1. Three aircraft of the Fw 190 F-8 have been tested with the rockets, Panzerblitz 3 (Pb 3) caliber 210 mm. The allies captured aircraft with missiles Pb 1 during operation Bodenplatte, when 1.January 1945 one aircraft crash-landed near Asche in Holland.

the Next planned version:
Version of the Fw 190 F-9 was powered by the engine of the BMW 801 TS or HERE. The installation of this engine is shown gashed on the side covers of the engine. The power of the engine transmitted trojlistá propeller VDM from the company Heine diameter 3 500 mm. Also, this version was supplied with a variety of výzbrojními sets R1, R13, R14, R15 and R16, which correspond to the sets for the Fw 190 F-8.
Furthermore, he made the Fw 190 F-10 with an enlarged vertical tail surface and with the engine BMW 801 F, which is, however, not produced. The expansion will see the armament, besides the usual armament of two machine guns MG 131 and two cannons MG 151/20 were carried two MK 108 or MG 151/20) in the wing or under it. After the cancellation of the planned production the engine was stopped and the development of the F-10. Projects Fw 190 F-11, F-12, F-13 and F-14 were not implemented. Implementation has been maybe one prototype of the Fw 190 F-15, the basis of this prototype was the fighter Fw 190 A-8, powered by was a powerful engine BMW 801 TH or TS, under the torso was a pylon ETC 504. RLM has tried all the developmental capacity to direct to the version of the Fw 190 F-16 with engine BMW 801 TS. Variant of the Fw 190 F-16/R1 had to be driven by another powerful engine, the BMW 801 J, but here it was only a project as well as a later version of the Fw 190F-16/R5, which was to carry two tanks after 55 litres with chemicals for a set of MW-50 or the last project of the Fw 190 F-17, which should be equipped with a gyro sight TSA IID..
