As yall can see there’s a pair of pylon showed up under the wings which I don’t remember see them before this update. Was the model been updated or a bug?
probably a model change
Same thing happened to you?
not that i recall i prefer the FW190 A5/U2
Plyons for the X-4 AAM that was recently modelled onto the aircraft iirc, so maybe sometime soon they’ll get their AAM.

Bruh what a wwii fighter get AAM that’s insane
Not really tbh as missile technology dates back to even before the first world war in regards to trying to get operational, here’s me wanting a 1920’s missile destroyer heh heh… (not really but that was a destroyer fitted with a very early cruise missile)
The Ruhrstahl Ru 344 X-4 wire guided AAM, they were the predecessor to the SS.10 & later SS.11 (which are found in game), the missile had a proxi fuze that would be set off by the engine frequency of a B-17.
The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 A-8 was one of the testing platforms along with the Messerschmitt Me 262 & Junkers Ju 88.

Don’t get too excited. They were slow wire guided CLOS missiles. Remember the Japanese guided missile? Yeah like that.
Those pylons are for the Ruhrstahl X-4 air to air missile
If it didnt have them before, it does now. Just a pair of large rockets.
Wait You are telling me that Germans had AAM’s in WW2?!
They were testing stuff yes.
Also some test with ground launched AAMs like the Wasserfall Rakete
And the Allies did not have them at this time?
Cant answer that. i dont know.
Luftwaffe 1946!
And for real, please submit bug report here: Community Bug Reporting System

The USA was testing a missile of similar appearance in the late 1940s, but significantly more advanced, and totally unrelated to the German X-4 missile.
The Ryan Aeronautical AAM-A-1 Firebird. Tested with the F-82 and B-26 Invader. Initial guidance was manual by pilot command over radio, identical to the X-4 (except for radio guidance part); however the terminal guidance was active radar homing and the missile had a proper proximity fuse. Active radar homing in the late 1940s was a world ahead of MCLOS only X-4 missile. The US had multiple active radar homing weapons in those days, too.
Don’t forget about the British AAMs. Really wish that we got some of those. Would love to see a BP vehicle in the form of a Beaufighter with Artemis (SARH missile)
They were never delivered cause we blew em up.
