EZ42 Gyro Gunsight (3 kg weight increase). Bubble Canopy (3 kg weight increase, minor speed loss). Two WGr.21 rockets in jettisonable launchers (258 kg weight increase with launchers, 58 kph speed loss, 12 kph speed loss after launch, 1 kph speed loss after jettison). Default armament: two 20mm guns "MG 151/20", 250 rounds, 700 rounds per minute, and two 13mm machine guns "MG 131", 475 rounds, 900 rounds per minute. In addition to Quick Mission Builder and Multiplayer modes, you can fly it in Career mode during Battle of Bodenplatte timeframe. Allied pilots would try to down the hapless jets as they were low on fuel and trying to land. The Dora would often be used to protect Me-262 jets during their vulnerable landing phase. It started to appear above the front lines during Autumn 1944 and although it got a cold initial reception from the German pilots, it later earned their trust and is considered to be the best German piston-powered fighter of the late war period. 
The armament consisted of two 13mm MG131 machine guns in the nose and two 20mm MG 151/20 cannons in the wing root. Its elongated nose housed the high-altitude liquid cooled Jumo 213А-1 engine equipped with MW-50 water-methanol injection system that enabled it to develop power up to 2100 HP. The ‘Dora’ as it was known, included many cutting-edge technologies of the time. Development of the Fw-190 D-9 started in 1942 as a high-altitude interceptor to counter the Allied air threat on the Western front.
