Ive been flying 109k4 or 109 series entire tour and have to say, dispite its good or bads, its all around an amazing plane. Fact it was designed in mid 30's and can compete with a P51 or Spitfire with its upgraded engines and firepower, sticks out.

190 series are just brutal planes to fly as well, Yeah you cant turn with a spit, but imagine getting the spit in your gunsight. where he has 240 rounds to hope to land hits, you can easily get 500 or 800 in different FW series.

Oddball planes I flew this tour: Spitfire 1, La7

Im competitive so I like to evaluate alot of planes, I started flying an La7 for one week this tour and my honest opinion is right about it, if your a decent stick, move on to a harder plane to fly. Simply to easy to fly makes game boring.

Spitfire I however... Longest fight I ever had so far was an La7 trying to boom-zoom me for 10 minutes because im doing 200 and him 400.
Made me work for the kill and sure enough, it paid off when La7 made a mistake.
Im not saying im that good I can kill everyone in a spit 1 but it proved my skill level is far enough ahead I dont need to rely on an La7 for kills.

I think I'll change it up this month and fly the 190-d9 almost every sortie, what do you guys think?

The A8 is pure pain. No doubt it is the sinle hardest plane to fly well in the MA short of being a total *****. If you can get down and dirty in it and still win, you might just have some skill.

Speaking of 190A-8s.. Last evening I was RTB in a Ta 152. I was low on ammo, with just 32 20mm rounds remaining. I spot a 190 deep into our territory and figure I'll use up the last ammo. I swing in behind and the pilot stick-stirs like mad. I land a few hits and go vertical. 12 rounds left. I attack again. A few more hits, knocking off his rudder and a flap. No ammo left, so I head for the nearest field. The 190A-8 pilot decides to follow... I over-fly the base at 4k and the 190 does the same, but the ack blasts the snot out of him and down he goes. I landed and rearmed.

Some guys are completely devoid of common sense.

My regards,

Widewing
