P-47D-25 is a good match for 190A-8 BUT everyone in that D-25cant afford to get in slow dogfights. P-47D-25 can dogfite that 190A-8 1 v 1 slow speeds (and of course with FLAPs extended) but chances aer you'll get shot down quick when hios wingmen recieves order to attack a P-47 behind the leader's 6.

Well Mando I agree with the fact that planes pass through the bullet streams often, very very often. I am always surprised and confused when they do.

However, afaik every single bullet is modelled. One way to see that is that you can infact fire 1x20mm round at a time (although difficult) and you also see the bullets hit the .target where every bullet leaves a hole.

So why the plane pass through I can't explain, still thinking bad aim (atleast for me)

Tips :
When stupid/drunk/tired : fly the Dorka9  and start a "hun run" when out of option

When smart/brain active : fly the A8/5 make slashing attack (you can pull a lot fo G provided you can kill)

The best way to train for the A8/5 is offline  you make B&Z on the drone Hoing them the fire opportunity will be very short and it will improve your gunnery.

And put all the gun the increase of roll rate is not worth the loss of firepower

If you're the type that seems to fire at closer ranges (waits til the last second) take the 30mm on the A8. They make a big difference when they land. In one sortie (in about 15 minutes) I know I got 3 30mm kills and about 3 non-30mm kills (30mm kills = catastrophic failure with 1 ping or so, non-30mm = 30mms ran dry by then).

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


Here is the kill list for tour 68, as of about 12 PM Alaska time 19th of Sept

109F4  2,156 Kills  1,782 deaths

Spit V  9,453 kills   10,849 deaths

Spit 9 9,513 kills,  9,194 deaths

LA7  17,592 kills   14,788 deaths

Ki-84  4,228 kills  3,277 deaths

NIK2  13,405 kills   12,231 deaths

I am not sure the 109F4 makes you lazy.  It is a great little plane in the hand of a good pilot (as are most planes) but it is hardly a newbie plane IMHO.   I can do much better in a 190D9 on K/D than a 109F4.  

I think that one of the best none perk rides, that will get you into the fight, and help you crawl out alive is the 190D9.  But the 109F4 can be a lot of fun to fly and can be a real scrapper in a knife fight.  I like it because it is more challenging than a Dora.

I real life my ride of choice in the non-perkies would be the PonyD.

Options for D-9 are rather limited when it comes to dogfighting.  Like Messer's 109K series my guess would be that K.Tank designed the D series as a stop gap, fast interceptor to close the gap with USAAF fighters.  Correct me if im wrong but the D-9s are used as "Lance" with conjunnction with "Swordfighters" in a "horde" formation:)

The Dora was a stop gap while designingen the Ta152 series.

Never heard this about the 109 K... who says the K was a stop gap?

Does our 190s fly in wrong attitude? I think they should fly more tail up than they do now?

I started with the A-26 in AW (Don't ask why, I guess I was insane :rolleyes:   ) When I decided to get into a fighter I didn't want to be called a Spit or Pony dweeb so I get into the 190. I flew it exclusivly for 5 years. The ammo loadout and speed is great and the range is even better. It can take a beating about as good as the Jug. But, it takes practice and finese' to fly her properly. If you are suckered into a turnfight then yer done! If you must turn, do it once and then lead out to get some E back and then Split-S to come back. Use the BnZ tactic, it works every time:aok

Well Legend those things don't really apply in AH.

Range is not very good. It's OK (good enough for any AH engagement) with DT but DT hampers the performance.

In AH it doesn't take a beating like a Jug, not anywhere near it actually but it does handle dammage fairly good. Not the Dora and Ta152 though as they pretty much always lose radiator first few hits.

I have come into conclusion that 190 is all about engine oil and elevators. Those are what come off first nearly always when I get hit... :p
