C. 205

If anything I would call it more similar to a G6 than a G2...but I agree with the snail man that the 190 A5 is the closest comparison. 

At MOST alts it looks like.

When folks have asked in the past "what's it like?" I usually describe it in a way I feel is brief but accurate: It's a cross between a 109 and a 190.

I don't like comparing it to a 190A, other than saying it has the same guns as the 2-cannon-armed A8 model. It doesn't handle the super-high-speed dives as well as a 190 does, and will out-turn any 190 (from my experience), whereas a 109 will out-turn it if no gondies are carried.

Whatever performance aspect it bests on the 190A, the 109 will best on the 205. It's (IMO) halfway between the two.

Handling is tons better than a 190, but not so light as a 109.

Real light 205 (I mean 2x12,7mm and 2x7mm) had climbing performances similar to the G-2, being almost the same weight. I consider it correctly modelled in AH2. Heavy 205s are close to the G-6.

I find the 205 faster than G-2s and G-6s at medium altitude and with better acceleration (nose down a litlle and you'll find it very fast).

The 205 has a better roll rate than most 1942-43 fighters at high speeds. And the 205 must be flown FAST. You can use its instantaneus turn ability but for a very short time. If I have to turn more than 90°-135° in a 205 I climb and/or extend. In the MA and in any multi-bogey situation the sustained turning ability, IMHO, is not important. It makes you a sitting duck for anyone.

I agree, I logged on and turn fought some planes and I ended up getting blown out of the sky. Of course I did that in most planes as I was WAY out of practice. I got some pings, but that was about it. I couldn't hold anyone long enought to land a kill.
