Re: How effective was Schrage Musik?

He 219 had more than sufficient forward armament, even the 2x20mm gun in wing roots were sufficient, no need for four more. The 219 wasn't fast enough to catch Mosquitoes or night fighters and their main target were bombers anyway.

He 219 weapons manual does neither mention weight or CoG issues for removal of the center bay guns. Judging from the manual Section IIB the MK 108 uses the attachment points of the center bay guns.

For weight calculation one needs to add 2x compressed air bottles required for the MK 108.
