I knew I was forgetting someone... a lot of what I'm saying here is going to be off the top of my head so mistakes will be made.

A great plane that the Luftwaffe didn't really want. Back then, streamlining was considered paramount to get more speed. Radial-equipped aircraft were extremely hard to streamline. Kurt Tank decided to go all mad scientist and produce an airplane that would get the title Butcher Bird.

Uhm - The Ta-152, unlike the FW-190A /F / G, uses a V12 engine, the Junkers Jumo 213E. The FW-190D also uses the 213 engine.
'Only' the FW-190A and the F and G ground attack variants use the BMW 801 radial.

Largely because that was really the only low-demand engine at the time of design. The Bf-109s were eating up the non-radials like mad and due to the newness of the Bf-109's design, the Luftwaffe erred on the side of caution and had the Fw-190 as a backup... and it proved itself quite well over the war.

The 109 is taking a lot of the DB 601 and later 605 production. The FW 190 A, F, and G uses the BMW 801 and the D and TA-152 the Jumo 213.
Yes, the A is one of the more aerodynamic radial fighters, the Bearcat takes a lot of inspiration from it, for example.

Yeah, it's History's youtube channel
From what I understand, it isn't the official History Channel youtube channel... I mean the other attempts to post these videos have to put their uploads to 480 or less or risk getting flagged and put down.

I think it may be the official one.
Since History on D+ isn't posting it there.

They generally put Official in their names... but since I don't have Disney+ I don't have a complete picture (I'm already having a lot of money drained thanks to Hulu and Netflix).
