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

all ya gotta do is ask.
edit: I bet Stang could show you a thing or two about 109s
