Spot on Lars- it is as you say the FW 191:


Only 3 were built due to changing specifications and requirements and they were flown with (very) underpowered BMW 801 engines. Defensive weapons installation is interesting in that it was originally meant to be remotely controlled barbettes:


The airframe was apparently a sound and efficient design, the aircraft was let down by the lack of engines in the 2500hp class, a fate which bedevilled several German designs.

You have control, Sir
