190A-5 vs P-38G/J

[VooWho]

Will today in the H2H I was in a room and upped a 190A-5. I had 2mg and 2 20mm cannons and fuel settings was unlimited. I came across this P38 and we came head on. We passed with HOing and went vertical. I beat the guy in the climb and managed to get on his six. I fired a quick shot and nailed his flap and then he kept doing loops. I would match almost every move. The only way I could with him on the loops was if I cut my throttle back then launch it full speed again which would increase my turning. He do more loops and split S moves and I was able to stay on his six. Finally I beat him in one of his loops after he lost a rudder, flap, and had engine damage, and blew him out of the sky. Next thing I know hes on the chat saying

Host: Nice hack HG.
Host: Hope you had fun here
Me: ?
Me: How did I hack?
Host: No way a 190 out loops p38
Host: Can you say goodbye?
Me: I've been playing for 5 years
Me: I think I know how to out loop a p38
Me: for one thing
Host: Well I've been playing since game was introduced and ive seen the
Host: hacks
Me: I took lighter ammo settings
Host: HG known hackers
(didn't get to finish my thing and he posted something before I get another picture of what he said)
Host: Don't give me S*** about D*** ammo settings
HOST CONNECTION LOST

I won't post the guys name. I've emailed HTC and sent in the picture.

Question is, is he right? Can a 190 not out loop a P38? It was either a G or J and didn't notice what model because I was too busy hacking

Basically, it depends on the pilot pure and simple.  Theoretically a 190 could out turn a Zeke if the pilot was dumb enough.  I wouldn't let it bother you especially since it was H2H, you know you didn't cheat so it's his problem that he sucks.

Thanks. Yea but I just think its funny though. I shoot him down once and he calls me a hacker.

If you out loop 38 in something that "shouldn't, or out turn a Spitfire in something that "shouldn't", or run down a Typhoon in something that "shouldn't". etc. etc.

Be wary of the Waahmbulance.

you ran into a crappy P-38 pilot is all.  be thankful it wasn't someone that knew what they were doing otherwise they would have chewed up your FW190-A5 to pieces.

In AH2 the Fw190A-5 as a smaller turning circle than the P-38L both with and without flaps. At lower altitudes (below 5-6k) the Fw190 also out climbs the P-38L. I hardly think you'd need to cheat to beat a 38 in a 190A-5, it's all down to pilot skill and luck.
