Sorry to hear your SA sv
BTW, I saw you making these same statements on 200 last night.
Here's 2 quick 190 stories from last night...
I was only on for about 30-45 minutes last night. I wanted to get in a 190D-9 because I hadn't flown one all camp.
First sortie, I'm fighting a Hurri IIC. I'm staying within a 2K box using the verticals. I have and continue to apply pressure. The kill is just a matter of time. After a few roatations I notice a high 190 but I'm on a firing pass so I look away. As I come around I see the 190 has kept alt but there's a Ki84 approaching from above now too.
I climb, reverse and take a last firing pass at the Hurri then duck into a run. There's no way I'm going to beat the combination of a speedster, a stall fighter and an E-fighter alone with a D-9. Together they eliminate all of my options.
I ran and ended up taking a shot to the oil line by the 190 before I broke guns range. Then headed home and landed safely. There is, and this was, a time to run.
The second sortie, I stayed in and fought first a Spit XVI, then an F6F-5. Both playing within the 2K box, both using the vertical obliques. I won both fights, although there was a second friendly involved against the F6F.
What I'm upset with in this post (as I so often am), is the generalization that (in this case) anyone who flys a 190D-9 is a gutless picker.
I've turn-fought and won against Spits, F6F's, Hurris, F4U's and numerous others in all the FW's but particularily in the A-8 (sometimes with all 3 notches of flaps out and I'm not even a noob). There ARE those of us who will fight with these planes, and no, I didn't have to hand my balls in at the hanger to hop in one.
