Fw-190 A8 ENY = 31 - Why is that?

[rauchen]

How is the ENY determined?  

The 190 A8 is 31 while the Bf-110G is 10.

The F4F is worth more than a Spit 5, too.

What am I missing?

The 110 is better armed and easier to furball than the A8.
Even at high speed, all that stands between you and a very quick death in the A8, is just one too hard a pull back on the stick.

A8 and A5 got their ENY swapped. Don't know if it was a mistake or not. Notice the relative ENY of the F-8 and D-9?

I consider it a bug, and it's been reported in the bugs forum, but I don't know if its intentional or not.

P.S. A8 is more capable than A5, better weapons much more lethal, and should definitely have a higher ranked (lower number) ENY.

For all its relative agility, the A5 is not a 31 ENY plane... The A8 requires a very good pilot to use give those guns a solution.  I'd say the ENY is right as it is.

Psssst.. don't tell anybody, they might change it

Once upon a time, the C205 was my perk farmer of choice, when it's ENY was around 40 in the old single MA. (They did correct that rightfully). Now it's the 190A8 with it's similar odd ENY value ...

Great plane.  Have scored more kills this tour in it than any other.  It can bite you and requires a slow hand.  The eny value should probably be closer to that of the A-5, but hey...enjoy it while it lasts.
