The Focke Wulf Fw 200 C-4 was the most produced model of the Fw 200 series. Equipped with the more powerful BMW Bramo 323 engine, it was the most refined of all the previous Fw 200 aircraft featuring a reinforced airframe, heavier payload, an HDL 151 turret, the Lotfe 7 bomb sight, radar, & a maximum speed in excess of 400 km/h. Armed with an MG 151 in the A & D-Stands (fwd dorsal & fwd gondola), an MG 131 in the B-Stand (rear dorsal), an MG 15 in the C-Stand (rear gondola), and either an MG 15 or an MG 131 in the F-Stand (side), its bomb load, carried internally & externally in the bomb bay (Gerüst 4 Schloß 50/X or ETC 500 IX) or on four PVC 1006 L bomb racks, comprised of the following loads:
In War Thunder, the Fw 200 C-4 would be a 1942-1943 mid war aircraft as the game’s only German maritime patrol bomber, the Fw 200 C-1, is completely out of place for late war maps or events/scenarios. In fact, the Fw 200 C-4 should completely replace the extremely rare & unsuitable Fw 200 C-1, as it was nothing more than an interim development or stopgap model which has absolutely no business being in this game. About 107 Fw 200 C-4 were produced throughout 1942 with some being converted to C-4/U1 or C-4/U2 standards. This suggestion is specifically for the Focke Wulf Fw 200 C-4 bomber. Main improvements over the current Fw 200 C-1 would be:
~410 km/h maximum speed
More powerful BMW Bramo 323
Reinforced airframe
Lotfernrohr 7
MG 151 in A & D-Stand
F-Stand upgradable to MG 131
Ability to carry the Vergeltungswaffe 1
Maximum bomb load of 5,400 kg
