Fw 190 A-8/F-8/G-8 should be counted as seperate

[Jackfraser24]

Hi everyone. I think that the Fw 190 A-8 should not be counted as three variants in one, but as three separate aircraft to fly, just like it was in IL-2 1946.

• The Fw-190 A-8 being the fighter version - it should have it's own skin and set of accessories (i.e. Guns/cannons, bombs and additional armor), and missions/pilot career.
• The Fw 190 F-8 being a ground attack version - same as above.
• The Fw-190 G-8 being a ground attack version with a longer range than the F - also same as the first

Reasons being

• It can be very confusing to players when they are fighting against the aircraft in non-Quick Mission Builder (i.e. AQMB, Career, Campaign, Missions and Multiplayer) when icons (some people choose to have) say that it is just an A-8, and the skins being the exact same for each 190 variant.
• It would add to visible diversity on the aircraft list, making it look more appealing to the player.
• Each variant would have a more of a unique set of skins, armor placing, weaponry and ammo capacity, if researched and added into the game.

 

Thanks for reading.

Other than skins, all of those items have already been implemented.

Well, Allied pilots weren't able to immediately (if at all?) identify it as an A, F or G either.

Just fight them all like it's an A-8. At worst, you'll be pleasantly surprised if it turns out to be weighed down by extra armor and bomb racks. The A-8 is, of them all, the most capable in a dogfight.

Thanks for the advice!

No it isn't, the G-8 minus the Mg-13's with low drag wing attachment points and no center rack is the superior fighter.  It's approaching dora class when boosted.  Not going to be a high altitude wonder, but than neither is the A-8.

What we need is A9/F9 ?

I do think they missed a chance to sell it to us three times over... which, I'd honestly have supported.
