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 turn fights
  • Supercharger gives great acceleration and performance at high altitudes
  • Premium bonus
  • Control surfaces very responsive at extreme speeds
  • Incredibly high speed required to rip wings >900km/h

Cons:

  • Cannot sustain in prolonged turn fights
  • 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 up-tier and even down-tier
  • Is outperformed by the Dora series of 190
  • Struggles to accelerate past 700km/h, even in a near vertical dive
  • Very poor control response during near stall maneuvers

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.
