FW 190 outer wing cannons
Hi Nick
I remember reading a post on this discussion board by George Hopp in which the specifications of a Fw 190 A-4 with and without the outboard MG FF cannons were compared. If I recall correctly, the weight difference was 100 kilograms and the maximum speed without the guns was raised by 10 kph (no idea on what altitude this was at nor the effect on the climb rate). However, it would be nice to check with him or somebody else with available information before accepting this, as there were so many different variables involved (including my memory!).
Horrido!
