190a8 is grossly overmodeled in AH. That why i only fly the 190  

p51 in AH & WB are comparable,but 190a8 in WB is either undermodeled or AH is grossly over modeled.. Only thing i see that may be off is speed at climb..

I love this 190a8 can kill anything.

p51 is modeled correctly, we know the a8 couldnt keep up with it. But the D9 should be able to. Fly 190 correctly and 51s are no problem

Only thing we have super on the A-8 is its roll rate. How is the plane grossly overmodeled though?

Saying it can 'kill anything' isn't much. Any plane can kill anything, given you have the advantage to begin with. I would be very interested to see if you can constantly kill La-5s and Georges from even position and from position of disadvantage in 1-on-1.

I agree that A-8 feels different from WB A-8, just like the P 51D does. But does anyone remember all the threads on Argos and iEN boards about the 190 FM. The CG position etc. ?

Still, A-8 in AH can do everything worse than P 51D, except roll rate. However, this is not such a small issue, since roll rate advantage can be exploited pretty well during combat.

Both 190 and P 51 feel different (better) from WB. 109 feels worse than in WB (few things only, though).

For example, stall speed of 109 vs P 51. 109 stalls at higher airspeed in level flight than P 51 in AH. Also, negative elevator input is in favor of P 51, while it should be other way around.
