Dora, Anton's youngest sister
For some info on the Focke-Wulf Fw-190's history, and on the build in general, you can check my Fw-190A-8 at this page
The Fw-190A ("Anton") series were some of the best fighter planes of WW2... but the later Fw-190D ("Dora") models were -according to their pilots- the best prop-driven fighter planes of the luftwaffe, and more than a match for the P-51D Mustang.
Fw-190D's are easy to recognize; instead of the big radial engine of the earlier models, the Dora's sported a Jumo 213A 12-cylinder in line liquid-cooled engine... which resulted in an entirely different nose section (the "long nose", which became the plane's nickname), compensated by a longer tail section. It actually started to look much like the later Ta-152, with which it shares part of the airframe.
This build is actually something of a mongrel -essentially an Fw-190D-9 of JG 301, but with the armament of the (later) D-11 version; two MG-151 20mm cannon in the wing roots, two MK-108 30mm cannon ("jackhammers") in the wings, and no more MG-131's in the nose.
Controls are the same as for my A-series, with one small difference: I dropped the AG5 for the engine contact -a useless feature, anyway... I just want to fly this thing :p
ENJOY!

Hey @SimplyPlain I can't damage the tanker AI with the guns....
Is this a problem on my side???
@WojakArgento sure, go ahead
@SimplyPlain i really enjoyed yot build!! Can I ask your permission to use part of a tail in a build of mine? full credit for that part will go for you
@SimplyPlain alright thanks :)
@bruhmemefy it has cannon (four of them, 20 and 30 mm) -no MG's. So you have to select the right weapon first (MG-151 or MK-108) before you can fire it.
Does this have any guns? Cause I cant fire any
Wunderbar!
@MeuseFlugzeugbau sorry, can't seem to reproduce the problem.
Why does the propeller dissappear [like just detaches itself from the plane and not producing thrust] after like 30 seconds of flying
@SimplyPlain oh lol sorry
@Ldgovk4lvkf9vkko You mean an Anton..? Just click the link...
Imma see if I can make this into a butcherbird
@ta152h1 yep
As a fellow il-2 pilot this is my favorite plane to fly. (The d9 not the d11 but close enough) I didn’t read the description at first and really critiqued this plane for having such weird gun placement only to find out it was a d11. I was not disappointed! Enjoyed flying this in more simple planes friendly environment. Great attention to detail in the cockpit, great immersion in it for SP level. This should be a very fun vr plane as it can punish its user but still beginner friendly. As I’ve said this plane is great for beginners through the roll might be just a little too much. Lots of ammo is what gets this plane above its competitors and the A variants. I’m honestly more of a bubble canopy person but still was surprised by the FOV in this cockpit. Overall an awesome replica even through I enjoy tightly compacted 20mm & 13mm more. One thing I would recommend is bumping the 20mm fire rate a bit up to around 700 rpm like the real MG 151 had. I also believe the mk 108 fired at very quick bursts or ~650rpm. Still a solid 10/10 and my favorite plane type ever. Thank you
Edit 1: not a big deal but in the real counterpart the planes engine would always remain on 5% throttle when idle since the throttle was also the fuel cutoff. I don’t think there is any way in sp to make it that the throttle stays at 5% when you start but would be very immersive if could be replicated in any way.
@EDEN971 ta 152?
das ist gut
This and the Anton are great. In my opinion you make some of the best WWII plane replica's. Cheers
Looks like a Ta-52
laughs in kämpfer
wunderbar
