Bah... that 190 is just too small to be a man's plane.  

At least it's a radial.. that's something.

As a Jug driver, 190's are some of my favourite adversaries.  It's one of the few planes that the Jug is fairly close to in terms of abilities.  It's always fun to scrap with a good 190 driver.  I must say though, I rarely see 'em down low with me.  Almost all the time I see them it's them booming through a furball.  The Jug's great diving ability makes it just the plane to jump in and run down that errant FW in too. <G>

A 500 MPH gun pass is a sweet, sweet thing my friend.  It's even better when you do it with 8 x .50 cal in a plane the size of a medium bomber.  

You guys are REALLY gonna be in trouble when the bullet dispersion weighting goes in for the next version.  This should benefit the Jug more than any other plane in terms of killing power.  No more assists for me, and no more surviving 8x .50 cal snapshots for you Luftwobblies.

As a flyer of the 190a8 I must agree it is the best plane even though its performance isnt exceptional.its down to the pilots who fly em

When I get to fly the D9, the 51's will die in great numbers. Sure, right now the 51 outruns, outclimbs, outranges (in guns), has more endurances, rolls better at high speeds and outturns the 190.

Only thing 190 pilots do well is whine  .

If you cant beat it, complain about it! LOL!

BOOYAH!!

Im with ya there Ice   Finally us speed lovers can get a plane with decent guns that dont require aim unlike the 51 as well as warp roll capability!  

Cant wait to hear the whining with 1.05!

NOW TELL ME!  If you could pick a plane and fly into a major FFA (free for all) battle with lets say about 50 planes, and it was set up as an elimination battle. Meaning if you get shot down or crashed you were eliminated from the game.
WHAT WOULD YOU FLY!

Hmmm..... funny no one mention the Tempest.

Seems like it is

1)SPEED:    Faster than a P51, may even be the fastest or 2nd fastest plane in the game.  This may change with altitude.  I'm looking at about 0 to 10,000ft.

2)TURNS:    Seems like it can match any other aircraft in a turn.  Of course you can out turn anyone if you are blacking out and have altitude cause you can still fly the plane.  (That's were lost of control functions should kick in.)

3)GUNS:     Seems like it gives the opponent a major bellybutton kicking like some of the other strong gunned planes.  DON'T GO HEAD TO HEAD AGAINST IT!  I know I'm just a rookie flyer, but I tried many time against my friend, who is also a rookie, me in a 109 and him in a Temp.  I would guess that I would die +90% of the time.  If not more.  I tried other plane too.

4)STRENGTH:    If you somehow survive a head to head bullet flurry with it, and you collide with it, you usually won't survive, but the Tempest usually keeps on flying (but will have some damage).  Its like colliding with a N1K2-J.

I fly it some of the times (may be 10%), more to counter my friend.

I like flying several planes.  I'm no pro, but that's ok, I try to get my opponent to work hard to kill me.  I suppose it gives me the satisfaction of how long I a can live, sometimes even get a thrill of landing a badly crippled plane.  While on the other hand it gives my opponent, the satisfaction that he was able to finally kill me.

NOTE! DELIBERATE CRASHING IS NOT AN OPTION.  I WOULD RATHER DIE AND GO TO HELL THAN DO THAT.  
I may be getting the crap shot out of me but while I'm trying to keep my plane flying, I'm trying to think on how I can kill my opponent or get a successful landing.
