This page is about the aircraft NC.900. For other uses, see Fw 190 (Disambiguation) |
Description
The NC.900 is a gift Rank III French fighter with a battle rating of 5.3 (AB/SB) and 5.0 (RB). It was introduced during Update 1.75 "La Résistance" in the 2017 "Festive Quest" that took place between 22 December 2017 to 22 January 2018. It was obtained via completing 13 pilot’s Christmas toys.
The NC.900 is the identical, French version of the Fw 190 A-8 which features many of the same characteristics as the late Focke-Wulf Anton fighters.

Survivability and armour

- 8 mm Steel plate under the cockpit.
- 5 mm Steel plate behind the fuel tank.
Armaments
Offensive armament
The NC.900 is armed with:
- 4 x 20 mm MG 151/20 cannons (140 rpg outer + 250 rpg inner = 780 total)
- 2 x 13 mm MG 131 machine guns (400 rpg = 800 total)
The four cannons are arranged in bundles of two mounted in each wing. The two outer cannons have 110 less rounds compared to the two inner cannons and will run empty first. The two machine guns are mounted in the nose of the aircraft have the same amount of ammunition and will deplete at the same time if out of ammo.
Usage in the battles
Flying the NC.900 tends to be very defensive and relies on neutralizing an enemy's energy advantage and capitalizing on the plane's advantages. Maneuvers that work well include the Split-S, Chandelle and anything that requires a high rate of roll. One of these its dive and roll in a single direction whilst applying rudder, this causes a very tight barrel roll that few aircraft can hope to gain a firing solution on. Another way to clear the NC.900's six is to pitch steeply up and roll over forcing an overshoot and potentially giving a firing solution. It's possible to dismember superior aircraft simply because of the roll rate and firepower this plane possesses. If skilled enough to press for a gun solution when scissoring an enemy, it could be greatly rewarded.
In summary, climb to the side, BnZ steadily, never get in a sustained turn fight, and use the roll rate to outgame the enemy when cornered.

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Great roll rate at all speeds.
- Good energy retention (Though somewhat poor compared to Spitfire LF Mk IX in the BnZ role).
- Excellent high speed control.
- Heavy armament, with plenty of ammunition.
- Well armored from the front, especially cockpit.
- Small and rugged air-frame.
- Has interceptor airspawn.
Cons:
- Poor acceleration at all altitudes.
- Poor turn time and energy retention in turns.
- Poor control at low speed.
- Rate of climb is mediocre.
- Bad at altitude performance.
- Very bricky to fly in general.
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 big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ historical reference" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/Name-vehicles/historical reference) and add a link to it here using the main
template. Be sure to include links to sources at the end of the article.
