This plane is a result of a discussion about "what if" development of navy planes in Germany.There are 109's and possibly 190's for Graf Zeppelin,also there would be a carrier version of Ju87.
Only thing missing is a torpedo plane
.So we thought that Germans would avoid making a completely new design from scratch and try to adapt one of the existing airframes....and we picked Arado 196 (minus floats).
It's a large plane,big wing surface,good (in game) low speed handling.
Difference in empty weight between float version and this is half a ton added weight,fully loaded is almost a whole ton heavier than float version (~4000kg default loadout).BMW801C-2 motor unit is installed (including a 190 cowling),also 190 landing gear is used.Big engine gave it good top speed and exceptional acceleration and climb rate (for a torpedo plane
).Basically I added weight,reduced drag (no floats) and let IL2 decide the rest
.
Armaments consist of two MG151/20 in wings,MG81 for rear gunner and optional bomb and torpedo loadout.
