1946, Reichlin Experimental Center, Germany :After achieving good anti-bomber results with the heavily armed, but slightly underpowered Huckebein, Reiclin decides to experiment with a lightened version, removing all appendages and wiring associated with the service plane's bomber interception role, including the 4 Mk108s. Replacing them with 2 lighter and faster firing Mg151/20s, which also has a better trajectory, Reichlin hopes to field a fighter that can help combat the increasing number of low level piston engined fighter-bombers that are wreaking such havoc across Germany. Although still underpowered for it's design philosophy, the new fighter achieves slightly better performance than it's sibling.
