190 vs SpitIX

[MANDOBLE]

What can really do a SpitIX vs 190 coalt co E?

[Saintaw]

Kill me  

[MANDOBLE]

Ok, Saintaw, you are down... ...Now what can do that Spit vs 189????

Basically that he blews it.
IF flew correctly, in a one on one Fw190 has no chances Vs Spit.

When I met a co E Spit first thing I see is if he goes for the HEadon. If he does so, I zoom up with the E that I win over him (he blews it trying to get HO),and come down to kill him.

Another common thing seen is that the SPit turns flat after the merge...again zoom up, go down and kill kill kill.

If the con zooms up as I do it too, then I dive, win speed and extend. When I win separation, loop and come back, fake HO and dive under him, zooming after it. If the con goes for the HO ,I have the upper hand. If he doesnt, then it is a matter of who wins the Headon. No chances to beat him in a close fight,and I hate Headons, so I usually break contact after second merge w/o HO try from the con.

Ok, Fw number 189 is down, we still have 188 flying, sooner or later the Spit will spent its entire ammo ....  

[Saintaw]

#154 here, radar on, check 6 boys.  

Mandoble, you just have to hope the Spitfire is stupid.

A zoom at the merge is good, like RAM says.  A lot of Spits will make a flat turn, then you've got an easy shot.  

However if he zooms with you, beware.  If it looks like he is going to point his nose at you sooner than you can point your nose at him, use your superior speed and get out of town!

Drag him until you find help or he gives up.

When he gives up, chase him!!!!!

Thanks for the Fw 190A-5 HTC!

Ladysmith wants you forthwith to come to her relief
Burn your briefs you leave for France tonight
Carefully cut the straps of the booby-traps and set the captives free
But don't shoot 'til you see her big blue eyes

CC Jochen, the same thing works in the Typhoon.  

Give me a speed advantage and some decent armament, and MUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA!  

[RAM]

#152 now and...and...152????...Hehehe then the spit is DED!!!!!

TA152!! RULEEZZZ!!!!


Saw...follow me...:

Yeah, funked, found that out the hard way last night!!! Lessons learned:NEVER trust a Tiffy running for ack, and never be typing "Run for Ack Tiffy, LOL !" because the next moment you turn to look for  the ack runner, he'll be D800 and closing!

Oh, and never trust FUNKED in any of the scenario above.

This is a disaster, we started with 190 planes vs only one Spit and we already lost 3...  
Well, the topic was not related to 190A8, just 190 Cessnas armed with briks vs one Spit armed with shield and dagger.

Anyway, if you want to talk about 190A8 vs Spit... ...IMO the Spit is dead, it has simply no chances to win. Any combat coalt co  E will finish with the Spit destroyed or with a draw. If the 190 is chased by the Spit, 190 pilot can extend to d2.5 or d3 and then just zoom climb and invert, the gained distance works in favour of the 190 in that climb, same tactic is applicable to P51D vs Spit.
