Historical Context: Fw 190A-8/R2

The R2 variant of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-8 was developed to combat heavily armored Allied bombers in the final phase of World War II. These aircraft were widely used, especially during the Defense of the Reich from the summer of 1944, thanks to additional armor and more powerful 30 mm MK 108 cannons.
