So it was for me a dream from a long time. I made it as a mod for me, and, if you are interested, here it is for public use.
Those planes were built between march and april 1945 to be jabo version of the dora. In fact, some sort of 190 F9 with dora as base.
We just have numbers of planned birds and 2 pictures, no more. Frankly don't know if it was operationnaly used or not, or where or what number was built, but the idea was enough for me.
It is an "half what-if".
This plane was intended to carry bombs on 5 etc, one on belly and 4 under wings like F9, and panzerblitz. Wings pylons could carry sc50 or sc70 bombs. It had also and extra fuel capacity, something like 750l in internals tank (and also capability to carry a droptand on belly etc that gave a total capacity of circa 1000l).
Here it is as i done it with a representative loadout capability , but surely not all posisble options.
In order to choose what bomb you want to drop first between belly or wings, belly bomb is droped by regular bomb command and wing loadout (sc50/70 or rockets) with regular rockets command. Bombs can be dropped one by one.
For panzerblitz, keep in mind that it was a non very reliable weapon and had to be fired often by 6 at a short distance to have a chance to destroy a T34. They are modified R4M, and are launched by pairs.
It is mounted with a mw50 jumo 213 for 2100 cv.
Regular RPM to use are :
Cruise : 2700 rpm no time limit
Climb and combat : 3000 rpm no time limit (ca 1600 hp)
Take off and emergency power : 3250 rpm for 30 mn max. (ca 1900 hp)
Extra emergency with mw50... 3250 rpm for 10 mn max each time. (ca 2100 hp)
Propeller : 3,6 m , so, perhaps the biggest in the game (Oleg's one was 3,2 m in game for doras). It behave not exactly same for that... It can be heavy on ground. Game can't deal barely with so great propeller on ground, but it is acceptable.
Power of the engine seems very high in EMD file, but, the game don't manage easily great propellers and the available power at the propeller is normal and correct.. It is the real parameter to take in account, not the power of the engine.
This plane have little bit torque, be carreful at take-off.
Canopy can be opened in internal and external view. She can be maneuvered up to 230 km/h and is blown out at 280 km/h, don't forget to close her before take-off.
When appearing on ground, all planes (AI and Human have the canopy opened by default)
Brakes are on. (you have to release them before taxiing or take off)
Magetos are off (you have to activate them before running the engine).
Tailwheel lock is not done by usual joystick button of keyboard key, but automatically when pulling slightly the stick.
This plane use poor quality fuel and is heavily smoking when applying full power or Mw50... it is normal.
Some other features in it, but not all documented.... (no interest for certains).
Structural resistance is dynamically managed in FM and the plane don't accept so much Gs like in game (13.5 max in game). This one accept much less g.. So, be carreful with the stick at high speed when pulling out, in particular when plane is heavy.
It is mainly for offline. It can cause "smoke bug" for other planes in online mod. Don't know how it work online.
His primary role is JABO, not a fighter .....!!!!
So, don't forget :
before taxying :
activate magnetos
release brakes.
before take off
close canopy if not done
1 level flaps
pull slightly the stick to lock the tailwheel.
be carreful when wheel leaving the ground, the plane as a tendancy to roll left due to torque.
Keep the ball centered as much as possible.
The plane can leave the groupe at speed like 190/200 or little bit more, depending of the weight. Don't forget extra weight due to extra fuel capacity and little bit heavyer plane).
It carry 5 racks at default config.
Finally, it is available here : (with french readme only, sorry) and compatible with SaS 2.9 buttons.

Special thanks and credits to Cirx and Sani.
Cirx for making the new 3D and buttons compatibility, and Sani for new cockpit with movable canopy.
Both for friendship...
Enjoy
