Naudet, agree completely with you. At least, 190A8 and F8 should be well armoured planes, and I suppose that the extra weight that makes them to climb like buffs are just due the extra armour. I cant see the effects of this armour, one ping = serious damage almost all the time, and mostly engine stopped.

But did the ONE ping implie that it was just SINGLE bullet/shell kill you ?

Ie if in my mighty hispano dweeb Tify I put 4 shell at convergence on you how many ping will your hear ? 1,2,3 or 4 ?
I bet you will just heard 1 but receive 4 shells anyway

I have to admit the radial engined 190's seem overly vulnarable to engine damage.

My spit usualy looses the aerlirons first, not the wings.

Tempests can wing rip pulling up hard from fast level flight, which seems wrong (but I don't *know* if it is)

The Ta 152's wings seem too weak in that regard too.

Zeke's seem too robust, in comparison to other planes. They're hard to hit, but having got one in position, they seem subjectively to absorb the same punishment as an F6, which defiantely feels wrong.

But I have no data....

Today i again did the stupid thing to fly 190s only.

Dmg reports:
1st run D9 radiator dead
2nd run A8, engine dead
3rd run A8, engine dead
4th run D9, engine dead
5th run D9, engine dead

hmmhh that looks again like 100% of the runs ended by engine/radiator dmg

and again all time this was the result of the 1st pings i took, after this the other parts of the bird took dmg, will do the same this week with this funny allied titanium birds

I'm not a LW pilot but of the times I have flown LW it was usually in a 190 I can tell you that most if not all of deaths were due to engine/radiator damage as well. I'm no historian so I'm not going to make any claims on what it should be like. I just felt that I would provide my experiences with the 190.
