Blown canopy for the 190A8

[453=SGII_Wotan]

hi

 

Does the in game 190 A8 have a flat or "blown" canopy. I know we can select the blown Canopy for the Dora 9, but I'm not sure for the Anton 8.

If it does not is it possible for the developers to give us that option. 

 

From most of the books I have the Anton 7 and 8 appear to have the blown Canopy

 

Thanks

The blown canopy was introduced in later '44 and it only became standard then. Earler airframes could be retrofitted with the later canopy.

 

No stock A-7 had a blown canopy. That would only start with the A-9 and maybe some late A-8s.

Well the Anton 8 is flying in the battle of Bodenplatte, which is Late 44 early 45 and it is part of this plane set

I love the look of the blown canopy.  Not sure that it makes a difference in VR.  I think your head still stops in the same place.

Blown canopies we’re not common on the Anton until the -9’s. It was developed specifically for the Frank series of AC for the ground attack role. It’s main advantage was the improved view downwards with residual improvement rearwards. It allowed ground attack pilots to observe targets and better asses the results of their attack runs. Regardless of year, it would, generally, be unusual to see them on the fighter versions in the field. A few -8’s and fewer -7’s.

We should have it as part of the F-8 modification, it was standard with those iirc

It was 'standard-for-late-1944-Germany' on the F-8 and G-8, which is to say that as many of them as they could manage got one and a whole bunch didn't. It's not really wrong to not have it, even if it would be a nice option.

Still patiently waiting for the guided missile mod.

Maybe we'll get a Fw-190A9 in a 1945 East module someday...

Try Il-2 1946! It officially include the X-4 for the Ta-152C... and there are mods that put it on more aircraft.
