I love it baby

But you 190 newbies are making us look bad (j/k)

The Fw 190A-5 has 25 kills and has been killed 24 times against the F4U-1C.

zigrat has 7 kills and has been killed 0 times in the Fw 190A-5 against the F4U-1C.

I thought the a5 is way better than the c hog, but it seems like the c hog is holding its own?

Cmon, help me in my quest to rid the world of C hogs

Has anyone tried the HogC's guns yet? Have they been fixed?

Zig, You'll never rid AH of the HogC as long as they have the advantage of those porked guns.

I agree about the A5, I like it!

Zigrat,

You killed me 6 times last night all in a 1C. That's why the F4U-1C seems off to you. You kill me fair and square except I was having a frame rate melt down on a couple of them. I was actually on your 6 one time and the frames jumped and bam, you on mine. Anyway I hope it was just my floundering last night that screwed the rest of the F4U drivers. Boy did my kill percentage take a beating last night.

the a5 reminds me of the p38L when it first came out with its phantom e retention.

cheers

Pyro tuned down the P38 when someone demonstrated it was too uber. Citabria, come here with data and tell us why does A5 have that magic E retention that you say, because it has the one it must have for a 1800hp light aircraft.

I knew it, that A5 would start an endless whine. come here with FACTS not with "oh I cant beat it". Post some numbers and demostrate it as someone did with the P38.

Until then ,shuddup. We, A8 drivers, do magic with an A5...does it surprise you?

oh, I'm not surprised with it.

Oh please

Like the 'Ban The C-Hog' rants were filled with objective facts... <cough>

Do we have a new uber plane on the block? Good. It'll be nice to finally see the heat taken off every plane I decide to fly.

Ban the A5! It's... ah... like, uber! ... Buncha damned Dweeb-5 pilots

Don't ban anything, add new things.

Anbody have any turn performance curves or numbers for FWa5 v p51d in an overlay?? (5k 10k 15k)

I'm not hollering wolf.. just very surprised to see the turn rate in the 190a5 is markedly better than p51's in the sim.

Was this the case in RL (tm) ??

Dunno.. enlighten me plz.

got a good run today against Citabria in A5, I was in a N1K, he had maybe 1K or so advantage. I survived 2 passes being able to neutralize him and get some angle but he played it wise and using separation and e-retention finally bled me out. I wouldn't say it was ueber, just flown well and patiently exploiting the extra E-margin he had.

I took the A5 out for a blast last night and let me just say: "That thing is a Fekin MONSTER". The acceleration is nothing short of AMAZING, and the handling compared to the A8 is incredible. It has to be the most confident plane i have ever flown in AH. I took it up to 30K no problems and it still happiliy was climbing at a slow to moderate rate at that altitute (without wep too).

Now im not saying: "its too uber" or: "it's overmodelled" cause i dont know enough about it historically to make any such claim. But i can say that that it is a truly incredible plane. I had a lot of fun in it.

What is everyone elses opinion??

Thanks Juzz..

Interesting reading. The guy sez it's better than a Mustang but that a Spit IX with merlin 66 is superior in all aspects...

Hmmm... this 20 min subjective check ride eval is dated 27 Aug, 43. The Americans brought over the first P51b's in October; 43, (354th FG.) And these had the Merlin 68's with reworked props.. better than the spit9's little Merlin 66. The first British Mustangs with Merlins in England arrived in late December 1943. (no. 65 squadron.)

What was there in August was Mk1 and MKIa Allison powered P51's...

<exhibit A is shredded; flutters to floor>

So; my friend.. You got any hard data on the FWa5 vs a P51B C or D ?

Hang (nice try tho)

When all else fails, fall back to physics--- wingloading, power-to-weight, etc. These numbers would be revealing.
