Description
The Fw 190 A-5/U14 is a premium rank III German fighter with a battle rating of 4.3 (AB), 4.0 (RB), and 4.7 (SB). It was introduced in Update "Fire and Ice".
General info
Flight performance
Describe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Speed, manoeuvrability, acceleration and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.

Survivability and armour
Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.
Modifications and economy
Armaments
Offensive armament
The Fw 190 A-5/U14 is armed with:
- 2 x 20 mm MG 151 cannons, wing-mounted (250 rpg = 500 total)
Suspended armament
The Fw 190 A-5/U14 can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- Without load
- 1 x F5b torpedo
Usage in battles
The Fw 190 A-5 U/14 is an excellent fighter, bar the torpedo-bomber moniker. It has great energy retention in a dive, and has excellent performance at higher speeds. As such, it should be used as a Boom and Zoom fighter, as its inferior turn rate will make a turn fight end badly for you.
On the torpedo bomber role, the Fw 190 needs to maintain low altitude to release a torpedo. The "fragile" characteristics of the torpedo makes a torpedo run complicated, as the torpedo has to be released on low speeds, making the aircraft more vulnerable to ship AA and other enemy aircraft. Launch the torpedo at a distance of 800 m to 1 km. After release, quickly break off from the run and gain altitude, either returning to the airfield to rearm or engage enemy aircraft.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Sturdy airframe
- Good energy retention
- Able to carry a torpedo
- Plentiful ammunition for the 2x 20mm MG 151 cannons
Cons:
- With a mere 2x 20mm MG 151 cannons, it feels lacking compared to other Fw 190 variants
- No other loadouts other than a single torpedo
- The F5b torpedo is inferior compared to other air launched torpedoes
- The aircraft has to slow down considerably and fly low to release the torpedo
- Slow turn rate
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main
template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>
, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />
. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===
, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
See also
Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:
- reference to the series of the aircraft;
- links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.
External links
Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:
- topic on the official game forum;
- other literature.
