If you want good snapshot ability take 30mm, I dislike gondolas on the G10 basically because I have good aim. ;P

I been flying the F-4 a lot. As was said the only thing I don't like about the plane is you can't get away if you start getting ganged. Otherwise I really like the F-4. It will really mix it up. Given relatively equal starting positions there isn't a plane yet I have felt totally out classed by in a dogfight. It can be tuff against planes like the 51 if the other guy really uses the plane as it was meant to be used. The guys that try to get in tight with me in a 51 don't do well normally. I took on two 51's the other day at 20k and it was quite a fight. They got me in the end because I got greedy and followed one down to far. Lost sight of the second guy and that's all it took. It was a blast. Lasted quite awhile.

Hi Eaglr,
It's true the Ju87 will *never* be a furballer, but think of the flak and ostwind hunts?

Picture your self low, hunting for armour, two 109's carving lazy S's above you as top cover...

It was supposed to be a pig to drive, few could manage it, but it was the A10 of it's day....

G10 was allso equiped with the Galland Hood so you have better visability in it then the other planes.
109 Had trim in the cockpit, the 190 however, could only be trimmed very little from the cockpit, the rest of trim was made on the ground. Thanks to the "trim on the ground" in the 190 it somehow stayed trimmed in allmost all speed and the pilot only had to/could trim it very little in air, that should be modelled in AH in my opinion.

Personally I fly the G10 wiht 1x20mm only, requires more skill to get kills but it keeps its superior climb rate and high alt performance

Hi Wilbus,
I'm a bit surprised about the 190 trim. I'm certain I've read that for the time, it had a very sophisticated electricaly operated trim. In fact, it got a bit of a reputation, as pilots would "play" with the trim (as we do) in a dogfight to tighten the turn radius, at the risk of overdoing it; at which point the Wulf would snap roll to the outside of the turn and invert.

Like I do
