New players like the aggressive styling of Fw-190s, howoever they are hold back because it has different flight characteristics.

(now start)

Don't turn below 170 unless you know what the %#$! you're doing!

Don't turn at all more or less. Stay away from turnfights, not even a few "laps" if you can call it that.

You will be called bore n zooming sissy pants by many people, usually those who are anoyed with you not fighting on their terms. Ignore it, fly what you like and like what you fly, and fly it your way.

If the fight is fair you've done something wrong.

The Fw 190 is the worst turner in the game when it comes to sustained turn rate, while it can turn very hard at high speeds, that maneuver is limited by G forces for the pilot, and after the initial turn it will have lost most of its E.

Learn to aim and shoot at high speeds, deflection shots (not just picking the one who fly straight).

Don't fly it.

Take a La-7 or a quad-Hizooka Typhie.

Stay away from the sissy boring LA7's. Don't listen to Kweassa

Seriously though, the Dora is 10 times more fun to fly compared to an LA7, much more challenging.

The tiffie is different but also quite fun to fly, what makes it alot easier than any 190 is the better turn radius and most of all, far superior guns.

Wurger for life.

"10 times more challenge" usually equates to "10 times less survivability"

At least the Lgays or Buffoons can turn somewhat when pressed down. The 190 has no options, zip, zilch, nada, when caught slow. It's such a simple plane to fly with very simple and essential tactics. No theatrics at all with the 190 - straight stick to BnZ.

That's why it's not fun!

If your new the best german plane to start off with is the 109F after you get the feel of that work yourself up the ladder. Id learn the 109s and 110s before you try your hand at the 190s. 190s arent for new guys hell they arent really for most vets. I only fly agenst buffs in a A8 with quad 20s and if theres a non spit/la7 fight going on then I get a Dora. If theres a GV battle then I get the F8. I dont even touch the A5 only 190 vets should even think about hoping in one.

Naw.. the newbies really should start out from 190s, and then move over to other planes.

People who start out with Nikis, Spits, and 109F-4s become too lazy!

I started out with a 109F

You've obviously havent flown 190's long enough to get to be any good in them

190s are easy mode, just run - dive - shoot - climb - repeat. You have ammo for days. Anyone who can hit a deflection shot can rack up easy kills cherrypicking in them.

I don't know how people can stand that boring watermelon but that's just me. Not to say that there aren't a couple of guys who can fight in them but they are few and far between.

Also IMHO the A5 is the only 190 that's any fun. It actually turns pretty good to a point. I've flown it a few times and had a blast turn fighting some of the better turners.

Actually, in the proper order should read

Spits,LALAs,KI84s,Nikis and then the 109f4
