I would like to sugges the Fw 190 V32/U2 which is a redesigned Ta 152 H-0 with Jumo 213E instead of the Jumo 213F of the other H-0 series, which were delivered to the Geschwader Staf of JG 301 in early 1945.

This specific Fw 190 V32/U2 would be similar to the allready in game Fw 190 D-12, however would have 1 enormes improvement, the armarment, as it was the other test plane along a Bf 110 that was fitted with a 20 / 30 mm Mg 213C as a Motorkanone with at least 200 rounds.

The Mg 213C was a late war development in form of a Revolver cannon, which followed the requirements of the 1000x1000 Gun.
The 1000x1000 requirement were a gun with a fire rate of at least 1000 rpm and 1000 m/s, which were successfully reached and even topped with the 20mm Mg 213C, which after the war also was pretty much directly copied over by the allies in form of Aden, Defa, M39 and more.

The gun was to be universally usable as fixed armarment against Ground targets, Fighters and Bombers from great range, while working reliably under heavy G forces and great height.

Developed by Mauser, however only 10 could be produced and were test fitted into a Bf 110 (Most likely G-4) and a Ta 152 Prototype. It was to replace the Mg 151/20 and later on the Mk 108, as it could also change the barrle between 20 and 30mm, where it fired a 20x135mm round (Same shells as Flaks 20x138mm) and 30x85mm (same shells as Mk 108)

In game it would offer a next step inbetween the Fw 190 and Ta 152 with great armarment inbetween the Mg 151 and Mk 103, however with a FAAAR higher fire rate. Furthermore it would be the perhaps only other plane that can have the gun, which itself is a legendary gun, which would be great against air and ground targets alike.

The Mg 213C was an revolver machine cannon, developed for the 1000x1000 project which asked for a gun to fire at least 1000 rpm with at least 1000 m/s, to be an effective allround gun to shoot at ground, air and sea targets. First gun was the 20mm Mg 301, which while already at 1000 rpm and 1000m/s with the 145g Pzbrgr. was not taken into service, instead development continued at Mauser, which took over the same 20x135mm round and developed a revolver cannon for it, which had characteristics well above the Mg 301 with 1200-1400 rpm and new MX-Geschoss with a velocity of 1050m/s.

Caliber: 20 and 30mm

Ammo: 20x135mm (55-60g Propellant) and 30x85mmR Mauser

Fire Rate: 1200-1400 rpm / 1000-1200 rpm

Beltfed: 100-120 and 60-105 rounds (20 and 30mm)

Muzzle velocity: 1050 m/s / 530 m/s

Weight: 96kg

Mounting:

Fixed, Motorkanone and Fuzelage

Vehicles:

Fw 190/Ta 152 Prototype

Bf 110 (for testing in flight)

Ammo Types: ApI-T, Aphe-T, Ap-T, HeI (m) and HeI-T (m) / HeI-T (m), HeI (m) and P-T

The 20mm Ammo is the same as the 20x135mm ammo of the 20mm Mg 301, these included 145g AP-T, ApI-T and Aphe-T as well as HE rounds of lighter weight, however these were with the Mg 213 replaced by MX rounds and possibly the 120g HE shell from the Flak. For the 30mm barrle, its the same shells as the Mk 108 just with a slightly higher velocity.
For the 30mm ammo look at Mk 108, same shells but with 530m/s instead of 500m/s.

Fascinating! I love new aircraft weapons being added to the game, so +1 from me.

Indeed, had not heard of this gun until now. Could be interesting.

+1 even better than the last plane with this weapon. Would be really nice to have and could dilute the ju288 spam

+1 from me! I think it would be great addition to the game. It’s also rare enough that I think it could it into a BP or event

+1 for event

+1 It’s great.

+1

Revolver cannon at WW2 planes would be insane

Added More Ammo Info.

I didn’t know jumo engines were compatible with a bottom intake, anyway +1, it would be a crazy head on beast with that gun

That’s just a radiator intake. I believe that picture is of a 190 prototype with a DB 603 since the actual engine intake will be on the left side of the plane though.
