Just had a look at some of the scenarios that would make good hotseat challenges and noticed there's no FW 190 till Kursk. I'm pretty sure it was available from early 41 but I couldnt find it in Sealion 42. Not that i could afford it anyway.

According to this german history site (
http://www.fmsc-dingolfing.de/focke_his ... istory.htm) first tests and fights seemed to have happened in 1941 with a fight on the 6th, september 1941 in Gravelines (Belgium).
But the rollout was done in spring 1942 with version A-3. So it would be correct to add this plane in 1942.
Also according to the Wiki (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focke-Wulf_Fw_190), the france/belgium is also listed but they state that "The Fw 190 made its air combat debut on the Eastern Front in November/December 1942" so if they delivered the Fw 190 beginning in spring 1942 it would however need time to deliver and train pilots.
