The pony is to the 109 what the Corsair is to the 190. See sig.

190 all the way.

Real men fly radials.

well the fw190 could take alittle more of a beating than the 109, the whole aircooled radial vs. the liquidcooled inline(thers alot more pipe and guts and such) but the wing loading was higher on the 190 was it not? plus the 109 had automatic leading edge slats that made it quite a turning machine,not to mention it (bf109)was a rather small aircraft.theres not much to shoot at. and the whole fuel injection system was just freakin awsome! the 190 was a hell of a perfomer though. but hey galland liked the 109 and i have to say that it is very pleasing aircraft to look at.

There is not much difference in 109 & 190's dimensions.

The Dora looks quite a bit larger in game than a 109

A series looks smaller than the Bf-109. Radial vs Inline makes it shorter.

Had a bash in the 190 A5 tonight.... That thing is a brutal murderer.

The great thing about it, even more so than the 109F, is that people underestimate it once they get in icon range.

On top of that, people see the '190' tag and do everything they can to get up their speed and E as they assume it will be a running Dora.

I burtalised many N1ks and Spits tonight, aircraft that should have turned all over me because they came in hot and underestimated the 190's ability to turn.

the A5 is incredibly agile (mine turned well inside a Typh, too) and those 4 x 20mm hit very nicely. Don't even both with the MGs, just use the cannon.

Rolling scissors is your friend in the 190.

I've got some great screenies but i'll post them later.
