creamo, I think its the 1001th time you try to bait with the same hook. I see you still get some fishes, but most of the rest simply dont bite

Time to change the hook, huh?

I did kill like over 70 B-17's when I was doing the streak in Fw190A8 (yes, they did shoot back already by then, couple lost wingtips can prove that and the screenshot)

"K/d against all bombers this tour?

30-1

plane K/D vs 190a8
arado...1 / 0
lanc....8 / 0
b17.....4 / 0
b26....10 / 1
ju88....2 / 0
tbm.....1 / 0

not bad eh? "


And they said the Buff guns were too deadly???


Not bad at all, and it proves a point. The right pilot, using the right plane, and the right tactics, will kill a buff.

Great arguments r4metz and rip, backed up with facts and points... "ignore me" and "it's a troll?" Ok.

Hazed, I just stated my opinion of the A8, and backed it up with pretty solid facts.

 It rolls awesome, has a huge cannon load, is stable as any aircraft in the game, takes a beating and keeps flying, is a great BnZ plane, is easy to fly compared to having to do hard turns and fast ACM in say a twitchy SPIT, reasonably good view, carrys rockets, and face to face the other plane is going to be a confetti bomb or walk away bloody. Whats hard to understand that makes for a good airplane? What makes it not a good plane for a begginer as well?

And as for my stats, "creamos is talking crap if you ask me.I checked his stats and he flies nikis,spits,f4c's,la7s,typhoons and although flown less in most cases like typhoon la7 he has better k/d ratio in almost every other plane..."

Did you type in my name correctly? I don't fly Spits hardly ever, they are all over the place and I can't hit with it's guns...(1-8 K/D), the Niki Im 53-74 which you said yourself you couldnt find anything great or uber about that plane as your popsicle squad mates were "protesting" and quitting over its UFO capabilities.

The F4UC stats are what they are. I figured out how to BnZ flying LW stuff, and after a few hours when I build my perk points up, I take one out for a 3-4 kill sortie till I run outta gas or get killed. It resets me to 0 points and I repeat the process. Yes the Chog is a beast, I really like flying it.

As for any other plane, the G2 have I 1/1 kill ratio 4-4 I think, but compared to 23-23 in 190A8 that represents nothing.

My stats DO back up what I said, as flawed as the ground prox kills, assists and such skew the what really happens in the MA.

Sooo, if you don't quit, keep your witchhunt for that elusive "E" retention that the Niki just might after a full tour of flying it.

 it wasnt the uber plane i thought t was for someone who doesnt fly it much like me but if i flew it the entire tour im sure it would show itself to be super e retentive"

Blah...

I just want to say, my best fights EVER have been P-47 vs. A8 fights.  Those two planes are so close in abilities that they are just a FUN match.

I hope to see more A8's in the arena.  As a Jug pilot, they are always a fun fight.

The 190a8 is also a good tool to learn BnZ, I agree.  It's challenging in the MA, but what it does is force you to fly a good BnZ.  You learn real fast not to start turning with it... you just die.    It's like teaching gunnery by getting somebody to fly the Spit for a while... it forces you to shoot accurately since it has a small ammo load.  It handles nicely overall... I'm going to have to fly it a bit more in the MA.

I remember Chuck Yeager's Air Combat.  My fav plane was the fw-190 a-8--that was the plane i flew my first mission in there.

I started using the A8 about 7 years ago in aw.  In aw if you tried a climbing turn and got to 150kias you immediately turned into a frisbee.  the A8 in AW had a mean departure.

The three aircraft I use most frequently are d9, a8, and the typhoon.  IMHO of the three the A8 is the best gun platform, probably the best gun platform in the game.  Use the roll rate, the flick, and some low yoyos you have a very nice craft in the a8.

Every couple tours I switch my main ride for a little variety.  I used to fly mainly the p51, then I switched to the p47 when it came out, then the f4u-1d and la5, now for the last 2 tours the spit9.  (Never realized how good the spit9 is.    Even I can average 3 or 4 kills per death in that monster before I run out of cannon ammo and have to shoot spitballs.)  I did try out the fw190a8 for about 1/2 a tour and I believe I ended up with a 19 to 3 k/d in it.  I'm thinking maybe I'll try out the a5 and a8 soon.
