| The FW190G-1 Fw190G-1 is in fact redésigné Fw190A-4/U8, it could carry a bomb of 500 kg under the belly on support ETC501 and 2 releasable additional reserves of 300 liters under the wings on Vtr-Ju87 support. Resulting from 2 prototypes of the A-4 series, G-1 are hunters bomber with long operating range (Jabo-Rei). The armament of edge was tiny room to 2 guns MG151/20 of wing root to gain weight. To allow the full use of the split flaps, those Ci have a cutting in arc of circle to avoid the tanks. The purpose of the designation of the series G at summer made during 1943, as for the series F, this designation was to differentiate the versions "jabo-rei" from the other versions of Fw190 on the chains of production.The FW190G-2 The FW190G-3 The FW190G-8 | ||||||||||||||||

Resulting from the tests of A-5/u8, Fw190G-2 is a A-5 used in the configuration of G-1. As for the versions "F", G-1 and G-2 is redésignés apparatuses with postériori. Fw190G-3 is the first version produced under this designation.
Fw190G-3 is the version of series of the tests of A-5/u17. Equipped with an autopilot PKS and a system of gasoline injection allowing an overpower takeoff or in the event of urgency. A certain number were equipped with filters anti-sand or dust-protecting to be useful in the tropical or dusty zones like the plains of the Ural in summer or Tunisia after the American debarquement.
Last version produced of the line of the hunters bombers to long operating range, G-8 was equipped like F-8 with an additional tank with gasoline with 115 liters behind the pilot, support ETC501 under the fuselage had been advanced to balance the plane following the assembly of this additional tank, it was equipped in series with radio operator FuG16Z there and of the device of overpower GM1, when that Ci was installed, the tank behind the pilot contained nitric oxide necessary to the device. The armament was limited to the armament of cap of A-8 and support ETC50 under the wings. Indicated Fw190G-8/R4, 148 specimen only were manufactured. 
Tests with a bomb of 1800 kg were carried out at the beginning of 1945 with a reinforced landing gear, the hunter behaved correctly during these tests but it was necessary a little more than 1300 meters of track for having a sufficient speed so that the pilots dare to take off with a similar overload. These tests answered an urgent request of the German high command to destroy the bridges in order to slow down the advance of the Soviet and allied troops. I did not find information allowing me to show an operational use of this bomb with of Focke Wulf.
