Introduction | 1942 |
| Variants | |||
| Fw-190G-1 | was renamed from A-4/U8 JaBo Rei's. Initial testing found that if all but two wing root mounted 20 mm MG 151 cannons (with reduced ammunition load) were removed, the Fw 190 G-1 (as it was now called) could carry a 250 kg or 500 kg bomb on the centreline and up to a 250 kg bomb under each wing. | ||
| Fw-190G-2 | was renamed from Fw 190 A-5/U8 aircraft, similar to the G-1; the underwing drop tank racks were replaced with the much simpler V.Mtt-Schloß fittings, to allow for a number of underwing configurations. | ||
| Fw-190G-3 | was based on A-6 with all but the two wing root mounted MG 151 cannons removed. The new V.Fw. Trg bombracks, however, allowed the G-3 to simultaneously carry fuel tanks and bomb loads | ||
| Fw-190G-3/R1 | The G-3/R1 replaced the V.Fw. Trg racks with Waffen-Behälter WB 151/20 cannon pods, giving the G-3/R1 a total of six 20 mm cannon. | ||
| Fw-190G-3/R5 | was similar to the R1, but the V.Fw. Trg racks were removed, and two ETC 50 racks per wing were added. | ||
| Fw-190G-8 | was based on the Fw 190 A-8, using the same "bubble" canopy as the F-8 and fitted with underwing ETC 503 racks that could carry either bombs or drop tanks. | ||
| Fw-190G-8/R4 | was a planned refit for
the GM 1 engine boost system, but never made it into production. |
||
| Fw-190G-8/R5 | G-8/R5 kit replaced the ETC 503 racks with two ETC 50 or 71 racks. | ||
