Been playing around in the F8 on jabo missions and loving it. Any other F8 fans?

A recon aircraft on Jabo ops? And when did we get a Bf-109 F8 anyway?  :D Just pullin yer chain Jim.

I like it. Tons of fun for blowing all kinds of stuff up, with enough speed and maneuverability to fight too. I still think a few dozen more options should be added in the form of ord. R4M rockets, cluster munitions, AP bombs etc... But she's a real kick in the pants to fly now, that's for sure!

Nope- hate it.  The 190F8, in my opinion easily the worst of the 190s.  If I want to bring a slow, unmanueverable plane to take down ack with and vulch, it will be the 190A8 with the 4x20mm.  Perhaps it is just me, but the 190F8 handles like a dog, even compared to the 190A8 with 4 cannons.  Compared to the 190A5, it is a very fat dog.

Maybe if we got some ground attack rockets instead of the little useless 50 kg bombs I'd use it, until then I load the 190A8 with the 500 kg bomb.

Urchin click your heels 4 times and say there's no place like R4M ther's no place like R4M and maybe JUST maybe the little rocket fairy will give you that which you desire in themean time. Leave the 190F8 in the hanger to rot for the 4 puny 50kg use less bombs it carries.

I use those puny 50 kg eggs to plink ack and GVs and to kill factory buildings.   :D
Rockets would be cool.   :)
Best thing about the F-8 is the paint job.  Purty!
