Wondering...
Maybe the real reason wasn't the weight, but the effects on the moment of inertia about the roll axis. Two 100 pound weights at mid span could have significant effects on the roll inertia, amking the FW 190s superior roll rate much less.
Also, might the recoil effect of the two wing guns firing at slightly different times effect the directional control and creat a wandering effect of the aiming point?
