Re: Fw 200 Upgrades
In fact 200C-3 had the fixed forward upper position replaced by a dorsal Fw 19 turret with a 7.9mm MG 15 mg, C-3/U1 had the bigger turret with 15mm MG 151, there were multible armament variations in different C-3 variants, even wiki gives some info on these. Especially the structure of C-1 was badly overstressed, so it is difficult to see that Germans would have put more equipment on those without complete rebuilding, probably moved the early versions to easier tasks when they got the later strengtened (but still rather weak)versions with upgraded armaments.
