It was curious to see FW-189 dropping bombs and especially strafing the ground targets from quite a high altitude.

the strafing was probably just for camera...what you gonna hit from that high

Here an interesting Fw-189 strafing video:

Talk about wreaking havoc! 

PS

This video gives me an idea for a mission of a FW-189 scripted campaign - burn the village down! That is - if the FW-189 we're getting is made flyable (which I don't think I've seen any evidence of) and if we get incendiary ammo. But it would be fun and not an ordinary type of mission.  

PPS 

He must be firing the wing-mounted guns in this video yet the tracers trajectory appears as if it's a turret gun, but FW-189 didn't have the forward turret.

Also looks like he is only firing one gun.

?

We've made multiple announcements about it being a flyable.
