As the Allied bombing campaign strengthened, the Germans knew they needed more high-altitude fighters. One of the many high-altitude proposals and designs was the Focke-Wulf 190 C. It was to be powered by the DB 603 with a turbocharger mounted underneath the aircraft. Turbochargers worked by compressing air and providing more power even at high altitudes where the air would be considerably thinner than at sea level. The 190 C’s fuselage was also made longer to accommodate the turbocharger. Although it was quite favourable in testing and orders were put in, the 190 C would ultimately be canceled as the Fw 190 D and Ta 152 were superior aircraft.

Introduced during [[Update 1.85 "Supersonic"]] as a reward for the [[wt:en/news/5962-special-festive-quest-en|2018 Festive Quest]], the '''{{Specs|name}}''' is an experimental high-altitude focused fighter. Although the Fw 190 C looks much more different compared to the Dora variants, it still plays relatively the same. It's not suited for turnfights but excels in energy fights. The 190 C also retains a very high structural limit of over 900 km/h (562 mph) which makes it a decent boom and zoom fighter. Players do need to be cautious of going too fast as the aircraft will compress and can make it hard to get guns on target. For weaponry, the 190 C has two 7.92 mm machine guns and two 20 mm MG 151 cannons. A downgrade from the Dora and Anton variants, but the cannons can still easily destroy enemy aircraft. Overall, the Focke-Wulf 190 C is an interesting aircraft that was born out of the many designs made to counter the Allied bombing campaign.

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a Rank {{Specs|rank}} gift German fighter {{Battle-rating}}. A coupon for the vehicle could be obtained during the 2018 Festive Quest for ten Christmas toys for pilots earned during the event. This variant receives a high altitude supercharger meaning it will exceed in performance at higher altitudes, this is complimented by its decent climb rate. But this plane sacrifices 2 wing mounted cannons for enhanced flight capability.

This aircraft has a very unique playstyle in regards to the other 190s.It can turn reasonably well at most speeds, having turning capabilities akin to that of the 1st 190 in the tech tree, albeit at a major cost in energy. This fighter has a mediocre climb rate, around 15.6 m/s (RB/SB) which is below average for the BR range it sits in. The most unique feature this aircraft possesses is its supercharger allowing it to perform at altitudes well above 7 km.

This aircraft functions basically with similarity to the Fw-190 A-8 in terms of flight characteristics. The aircraft can turn reasonably well at most speeds, having turning capabilities akin to that of the 1st 190 in the tech tree. This fighter also climbs quite well, around 15.6 m/s (RB/SB) which is around average for the BR range it sits in.

This 190 has a fairly slow top speed at sea level, so you won't see it running away from most planes but at high altitudes, it is reasonable fast.

Like any other 190, the roll rate is exceptional allowing for good firing solutions during dives and good defensive flying capabilities. As mentioned before, the turning capability of the 190 is fairly decent and not something to glance over. Although, it can't function as a dedicated turn fighter, it can perform very well in dogfights. In addition, the 190 has a very low stall speed which is a good asset to have in vertical dogfights. Another point to mention is that this 190 has an off-centre off mass (possibly due to the intake at the bottom of the plane) which is very noticeable during low speed manoeuvres.

This plane is not suited for close quarters dogfighting, but despite its low mass excels at energy fighting. It will not last long in a turnfight. The front armoured glass plate of the cockpit is 57 mm thick, and the pilot is protected from the rear by 2 plates, 8 mm and 12 mm thick respectively. The engine is prone to damage in head-ons due to the lack of armour protection around the engine cowling.

Because the Fuel tank is positioned behind the pilot, it is advised to bring more fuel to move the centre of gravity backwards making the elevator more responsive.

The Fw 190 C is an experimental high-altitude fighter powered by the DB-603 engine, developed from the same project that yielded the highly-effective [[Fw 190 D-12|Fw 190 D]] series aircraft. Designed to be a high-altitude interceptor, the Fw 190 C was designed with a unique power plant consisting of the DB 603 engine mated to an underslung turbocharger. While moderately successful, the Fw 190 C was never ordered into production, being superseded by the Fw 190 D and Ta 152 programs.
 
−
 
 
−
Following the success of the Fw 190 A series, Focke-Wulf pursued the development of several variants which would be capable of high-altitude flight, as the Fw 190 A’s radial engines suffered at higher altitudes. The first such design was the Fw 190 B series, which were essentially converted Fw 190 As with a pressurized cockpit and engine boosting. However, Focke-Wulf soon pursued the development of new inline-engined variants of the Fw 190 A, using the Daimler-Benz DB 603 and the Junkers Jumo 213 powerplants. The Junkers-powered Fw 190s would later be spun off into the highly-successful Fw 190 D series, while the DB 603 engine was given to the experimental Fw 190 C.
 
−
 
 
−
The Fw 190 C featured a DB 603 inline engine mounted in an extended engine cowling; despite this, the Fw 190s retained the cowling of the Fw 190 A. The aircraft featured a huge underslung Hirth TK 11 supercharger designed to boost engine performance at higher altitudes. The aircraft first flew in this configuration in December of 1942. In the same month, the German Air Ministry (or RLM) ordered 727 Fw 190 Cs; however, this order was soon cancelled in favour of the more-successful Fw 190 D and Ta 152. As a result, the Fw 190 C would never enter serial production and remained a prototype aircraft project.

Description

GarageImage Fw 190 C.jpg


The Fw 190 C is a Rank IV gift German fighter with a battle rating of 5.3 (AB) and 5.0 (RB/SB). A coupon for the vehicle could be obtained during the 2018 Festive Quest for ten Christmas toys for pilots earned during the event. This variant receives a high altitude supercharger meaning it will exceed in performance at higher altitudes, this is complimented by its decent climb rate. But this plane sacrifices 2 wing mounted cannons for enhanced flight capability.

General info

Flight Performance

This aircraft functions basically with similarity to the Fw-190 A-8 in terms of flight characteristics. The aircraft can turn reasonably well at most speeds, having turning capabilities akin to that of the 1st 190 in the tech tree. This fighter also climbs quite well, around 15.6 m/s (RB/SB) which is around average for the BR range it sits in.

Survivability and armour

This plane is not suited for turnfights, but rather excels at energy fighting, regardless of its reasonably low mass, and so will not last long in the aformantioned fighting technique. The front glass plate of the cockpit sits at 57mm thick, whilst the pilot is protected from the rear by 2 plates, 8mm and 12mm thick respectively. The engine is prone to damage in head on's and strafes due to the lack of armour protection around the engine cowling.

Armaments

Offensive armament

The Fw-190 C receives 2 MG/151 20mm cannons mounted in the inner wings behind the propeller, and 2 MG17 7.92mm machine guns mounted in the nose, the standard for German aircraft at this point in the tree. The 20mms get 500 rounds of ammo with their respective belts making them considerably deadly and optimal for longer battles. The MG17s get 1800 rounds of ammo but do lesser amounts of damage, best used in combination with the 20mms, but can be used to effectively peck damage lighter aircraft.

Usage in battles

Because the Fuel tank is positioned behind the pilot, it is advised to bring more fuel to move the centre of gravity backwards making the elevator more responsive.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Exceptional climb rate
  • Main armament is deadly, and receives a vast quantity of ammunition for prolonged engagements
  • Decent turner, can out-turn some fighters it comes up against, but will suffer in turnfights
  • Supercharger gives great acceleration and performance at high altitudes
  • Premium bonus

Cons:

  • Cannot sustain in prolonged turnfights
  • Lacks sufficient armour protection, both frontally and from the rear
  • Susceptible to fires when fired at by .50 cal rounds from tracer belts in particular
  • Even its climb rate can be exceeded by some opponents in an uptier and even downtier.
  • Is outperformed by the Dora series of 190

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 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>, as well as adding them at the end of the article. This section may also include the vehicle's devblog entry (if applicable) and the ingame encyclopedia description (under === Encyclopedia Info ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
