Fieseler-Skoda FiSk 199

[Solarmod 1,203]

I couldn't find many sources for this, so here goes!

 

The FiSk 199 is a modification of the Bf 109G, it was an attempt at a longer range 109, it was a fighter-bomber made by Skoda-Kauba, in Prague. A Bf 109G-1/R1 was modified for fighter-bomber duties, by adding 2 300 litre drop tanks, and an ETC500 bomb rack under the fuselage, with a jettison-able landing gear added, making the plane sit weirdly on the ground one other modification, (that I'm unsure if it is correct, as I found it on a modelling site, and cannot confirm or deny it's correctness, due to the lack of information on the aircraft) is that it was given a DB 605 in lieu of a DB 601. It would be a unique premium, or squadron vehicle, as it is a 109 that carries a larger bomb, and in theory could have a longer range, for enduring confrontation. (I don't know much about the mode, I just like this plane)

 

Some stuff ripped from sources:

(1) "The first flight, performed by Heinrich Beauvais, was made on 30 June 1942. In the event, this modification was not adopted for service. This particular undercarriage configuration of the FiSK 199 was revived for the post war Orlican L-40."

 

(2) "To clear the large 500kg bomb from the ground during take off, a third main landing gear leg and wheel was plugged in a middle position in the fuselage, right behind the pilot’s seat. After take off, the supplementary wheel was jettisoned and went back to earth with a parachute. Some tests were made but didn’t lead to production."

 

(3)  "The modifications were carried out by Skoda in Prague, hence the assignment of the Fi-Sk designation.

It is thought that two aircraft were converted and tested."

Thank you for your time, and believe me, I had to scrape the barrel for information for this silly bundle of fun.

Thanks!  I tried my hardest to find actual sources but it's sooo hard because so much of the stuff I've researched religiously already had suggestions!

I'd love to see this!  +1 from me.

Any particular reason why?

We have enough 109s as it is and plus in Tank RB whats the chance a player is gonna get enough SP to take this thing ad and whats the chance they just ditch the bomb?

Well, it's a 500 kg, so they could effectively nuke a tank, then use it as a fighter? But I get your point, for me it's the novelty.

standard tree i want more 109's.

I suppose this could be added as a premium or gift plane.  As for BR, I voted to keep it the same, since while it is heavier, it does gain a more useful payload for ground attack, making it more useful to bring into combined arms gamemodes (and in air battles I don't think it's going to make enough of a difference to matter).

+1 Looks like a fun unqiue plane that people will enjoy to see added into the game 


uwu first +1 post i do

Under the G-2, or as it's own thing in the attacker line? Kinda vague my man.

Would be a nice Premium, after GER "lost" the Romanian G2 to Italy

[Miltaccfd 240]

I approve, if the external fuel tanks will be added to the game...
I may have more information
The thing is this plane was not a G-0 (your 2nd source) and was not a G-2 (even if there is a source, it was called G-2/R1). It was a prototype converted from a G-1.

Additionally, on the picture you can see why it is a G-1

Thank you, as I mentioned I had a hard time finding english or even resources on the vehicle in general. But thank you. o7

Most photos for a lot of my suggestions broke, so I am now revamping suggestions with little information tweaks and the like, so a bump I guess?

[Solarmod 1,203]

I've spent almost a year looking for any new photos or information about the FiSk, and unfortunately, I have only found one new picture. It's of the landing gear. It will now be added to the post. Cheers.
