So, do you guys think a Fw190-D9 would be a perk or not?

[Hans]

Fw190D9s were used in WarBirds before they had an Rolling Plane Set, and didn't overwhelm the arena.  They were fairly common, but the P51 and Spitfire-9 were also very common.

I don't think a D9 would terribly unballance the game.  If its added, I don't think its a perk ride.

Also, I am curious why we don't see the Fw190A4 and A8 very much?  I flew one and found it to be a bit unstable when flying it.  It flew "mushy" compared to other machines.

Hans.

I dont think it's to be perked.

even with mw-50

[StSanta]

No. It will turn less good than the P-51, and only be marginally faster.

Only reason for perking it would be that

a) otherwise we get a zillion instant LW converters, like back when the A5 was buggy and

b) because the allies don't want a level playing field  

Heheh

D9 will most likely be perked in the 50 or 100 point range according to HT.

Hmmm... Are you sure? Why? It is as fast as P-51 which is not perked and it does not climb as good as Bf 109G-10 which is not perked and it's armament is much weaker than Typhoon's which is not perked and it was produced 4 times the number of F4U-1C's which is not perked.

So I can't see why it should be perk plane and I think/hope neither does HT or Pyro. D-9 would not be more popular plane than G-10.

Lets make a bet: I say it will not be perked!

HT is this true?

how many perks will a P51 cost?

[funked]

D-9 is in the same class as Me 109G-10 and P-51D.  If you perk one, better perk 'em all.

[Toad]

HTC, Puh-leeez DO NOT PERK the D-9.

The whining about that one would last forever!

In fact, any and all LW planes should NOT be perked. Give them anything...anything...they want.

Thx Toad ;=)

A 190-D9? Not a perk


  -Westy

[Hooligan]

If the MW-50 version of the d9 is perked, then the non MS-50 version should also be made available.

and it was produced 4 times the number of F4U-1C's which is not perked.

LOL! Thats not saying much

I hope it is NOT perked......comparable to P51D we have, no need to perk it IMHO.
My main wish is that HT would make some of the Allied planes' optional armaments available......like the different one available for the FW-190 and the 109's.  
Give me a Hellcat with the optional 20mm's in place.......

Almost all 190D9s were fitted with MW50, if not from factory, retrofitted on the field.

MW50 is the D9 we should see here. It is a bit faster than a P51, it is much worse turner, and has worse firepower.

The non-MW50 unperked is a sorry excuse. If the MW50 fitted D9 is perked, so it should be the P51D

Give me a Hellcat with the optional 20mm's in place.......  

Give me the chance to get rid of the useless cowl MGs in the 190, please  

And remember that only 30% of the common weapons schemes of the 109 and 190 are simulated here...

Or you want to see a G10 with 3xMk108?

And would you like to back that statement up?  

And please don't tell me about the 190 with the Mk103's (which was a single test aircraft only).

And a 109 with x3 Mk108's? I hope your not talking about the K10 (or was it K14?) because it only ever existed on paper.

Just yanking your chain RAM  

If you have some more data on 109's and 190's that I don't have, please post it.

But what I have seen in my research material, shows that we do have the most common armament loadouts for the 109s and 190A's (excluding F's and G's). But there may be a few esoteric ones that AH misses.
