It absolutely was greatly armed with 2 MG 131 machine guns and 4 MG 151 20 mm cannons. Production for the A-8 variation began in the first months of 1944, characterised with an injection system in a position to increase motor energy, for brief durations, to over 1,900 Hp. From 1944 until May 1945 in most the Focke-Wulf factories, more than 6,500 190 A-8 models had been constructed, to manage the a lot more frequent allied atmosphere raids.
