It sounds like it is to late for poor Shamus.  And he was such a great guy :(

Oh sure, it just starts off with a Seafire on a CV attack now and then, and then the occasional Spit V for a base defense.

Next thing you know, you are into the "Hard Stuff" Spit 9's and a Perkie 14, and now creme de la creme' the Spit16.  

Then you are hooked with little chance of recovery. :eek:

Only madness and darkness lie waiting for you down that path!

hey you AK foker, seriously, if you ever want to go to the DA to mess around in some german steel we could both learn something im sure. I'm coming to grips with the 190a5 lately, its quite a monster. If only it had quad, or even twin hispanios....  :(

Infact I had some spectacular duels with TC and a pair of 190s in the da the other night, i wonder if he has film?

anyhow, believe me, apart from questionable guns, there is nothing from stopping a 190a5 outflying a spit5.

dont damn the plane, no reasonable fighter plane by itself is an easy kill with out it being made one by the pilot.

Well, that does sound like fun, but can we wait until the Donut map is over?

I am having way to much fun in FT to think about much else.

I don't fly the A5 much, but I do fly the A8 a bit.  I used to fly with the 4 20mm package, but now I like the 2 20mm, 2 30mm package.  A real buff killing loadout.

I was in the G14 in FT a bit, not overly impressive, but still making kills in it.

I am falling in love with the German 30mm as a buff/fighter/gv killer. :aok :aok

Now if only the Hog F4u-1 had 30mms and it wasn't perked :)

Seriously... I can't see out of the new G6/14 and K4 cockpits to shoot at all.  Hopefully I'll get used to it, but right now it's beyond frustrating.  I'm so close to just throwing in the towel on it though and flying spits, lol.

hehe, yeah id say the 30mm are the only ones i can hit with, but the brilliant german's realised there was no problem loading 2 20s and some peeshooters on these things too!  i figure with the luft 20mm, convergence has to be either 400+ or >250. very long range for BnZ and close for turnfighting.

the 8 is a mean machine indeed, but i would urge ya to try the A5 primarily as a fighter with all the gun and as much fuel as you like. after you drain the small tanks she becomes as agile as a ponyD if not better. and with those guns compared to most other fighter loads you will have a great chance of controlling and closing a fight as fast as possible.

The A8 is like a heavy F4F compared i promise you.

I posted this before but here is a 2min feature movie, 'yak in the sun' and the .ahf file it was made from. if nothing else its fun to watch but they do  rough demonstrate some of the FW190 A5's finer qualities.

there are plenty of potential dueling partners that know alot about the German aircraft, and could possible help with the luftlove/hate thing, you can get rid of the hate. :D all ya gotta do is ask.







edit: I bet Stang could show you a thing or two about 109s :)
