-The Focke-Wulf 190 A was the first production series of the Fw 190. Many variants were developed, from the A-1 to the A-8. The A-5 had an extensive list of aircraft that were fitted with different "''Umrustbausatz''" kits. Most included simple camera additions or weaponry changes, as was the case with the A-5/U14. The U14 was intended to utilize the [[F5b|LT F5b]] torpedo, which was mounted under the fuselage. For safety reasons, the tail wheel and fin height were increased so the torpedo could not accidentally strike the ground. As for armament, the A-5/U14 was only armed with two 20 mm MG 151 cannons mounted near the engine. Two planes were tested in this setup: "TD SI" (model shown in-game) and "TD SJ".

-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was introduced as a premium fighter in [[Update "Fire and Ice"]]. The A-5/U14 was only a very minor development in the A-5, so it is largely the same as other A-5s when it comes to performance. The same engine and airframe were utilized across all the different Umrustbausatz kits. Armament wise, the A-5/U14 most closely resembles the [[Fw 190 A-5/U2|A-5/U2]] since both carry two [[MG 151 (20 mm)|MG 151]] cannons near the engine. The main difference is the A-5/U14's ability to carry an aerial torpedo, which is only useful in Naval matches, and a select number of Air Realistic Battle maps. Unsurprisingly, equipping the torpedo significantly drops the performance, so players should immediately drop it if an enemy fighter starts attacking.

+The Fw 190 A-5/U14 has five different steel panels. The two steel rings protect the oil cooling system. The three other steel plates protect the pilot from fighters attacking from the rear. The A-5/U14 has two separate self-sealing fuel tanks underneath the pilot
