Pretty cool. Everything you need to know about a FW-190 A-8. Flight performance, powerplant performance, general maintenance instructions, armament, armor, and inspections, etc.

 

Cool things I took away from skimming through.

 

The armor surrounding the cockpit and engine. The armor should make the FW-190 great for frontal attacks in this game. Not so much. Even the cannons have armor around them. Page 120-121

 

EXHAUST THRUST. Page 127

 

Enjoy!

The armour in the front is pretty thin and only good for defeating small arms fire or not-such-large arms fire at some lower angles. The armour at the guns is only for the R8 version, which is the one equipped with dual MK108. The standard versions with MGFF or MG151 did not have it.

 

The handbook is a nice compilation of material, and fortunately for folks who don't speak German, it's in English.
