You wouldnt need more than 2 30mm rounds.  OTOH, if you were driving a CHog, you wouldn't need to get within 100yds.  Get anywhere within 500-600 yds and let fly!

Oh, BTW Animal.  You MAY find that the guys in the MA actually check their 6 from time to time, unlike many you'll see in the TA.

YEAH, they do check their 6, but they will be unable to get me off it.

no need to do that, the high F4Uc that comes from 25K will wipe your bellybutton instead

Zigrat, whats wrong with the 190A8?

Its performance in AH (at least the charts, I haven't tested in game for a version or two) exactly matches the performance charts I have from both the english translation of the Focke Wulf Pilots Handbook, and the testing performed by the US after the war.

The only thing I can find is that our version doesn't have GM1, but then again the pilots handbook states that it was very rare for this plane to have GM1. Even then, GM1 was only useful at very high altitude.

Just for the record, I cant hit a hangar with the 30mm, even if I've taxied inside it!

I've tried to learn to shoot and kill with the 30mm of the G-6, but its damn hard.  Snapshots are practically impossible, you really have to get in CLOSE to kill.  I usually end up wasting all of my 30mm ammo, trying desperately to get dead-6 hits from 100-200 yds.  I get most of my G-6 kills with the 13mms.

But every once in a month or so, when everything goes right and you RTB with 5 single ping 30mm kills - that feels good.  

And btw, anyone trying to tell the G-6 is über in the MA must be out of his mind!

He is trolling, Camo. I'm sure as hell that Creamo has teached him how to do it, because he has hooked some great fishes in a couple of hours    

[edit]BTW two weeks ago I owed the TA for half an hour raking a 20 kill sortie...

in a zeke. Perk it! Its über!!!

Again, Animal;great troll  [/edit]

The Fw 190A-8 was NOT designed for bomber hunting. I'd like to see someone produce some evidence that it was...

[Animal]

Juzz did I say it was designed as a buff hunter? said it IS a buff hunter, cause thats the only thing that piece o' crap is worth for. Or you are trying to tell me the A8 is a dogfighter? please.
It is a HO plane. As it was in real life.

[Zigrat]

vermillion, on the deck with the boost of the special feature or whatever the 190a8 had, it should produce 2000 hp under 1000 m

at 1000 m (~3000 ft) the 190a5 (8500 lb) climbs at 3900 ft/sec under WEP (8500 lbs/1700 horses)= 5 lb/hp

the 190a8 at 1000 m with a weight of 9500 lb and a power of 2000 hp (power loading of 4.75 lb/hp) climbs at 3100 FPM under wep.

sound fishy to you too?

[Nath-BDP]

lol Animal, go back to your 38 and stay away from our planes...

You no nothing about the 190, I could beat your bellybutton anytime anywhere in my A8 vs your 38. I dunno where this bs you're spewing is comin' from but it sure is pure...  

[hazed-]

yawn......ok animal fly the g6 and show us how uber it is...MA not TA...TA is where people practice stuff so 9 times out of 10 when i fly in TA its just to muck around and test stuff.I dont fly thesame in MA.

190A8 is still my favourite

[StSanta]

Huge difference between TA and MA.

Yes, lets bite. AH's 109G-6 is a truck. Ours is an early G-6, just an heavy G-2. Oh yeah, with 2x13mm deadly MG.

Ah, and dont forget to click the "Outstanding Situational Awareness" and "Always Fly Fast and 5K Above The Foe" buttons while you are in the hangar

I'm definitely not the best pilot on here. I fly the 109F-4 a lot because I noticed that I did just as well in it as any other plane I've flow and I get more perk points doing it. I just looked at my stats and I have a 1.5 to 1 KD ratio in a 109F-4 and a 1.4 to 1 in my favorite plane the P-38. I haven't flown the P-38 as much lately so that accounts for the slightly lower ratio I'm sure. I mostly fly without the external guns. What I feel is the big advantage with the 38 and the 109 is the centerline guns. I think my gunnery is better. The 109 seems to be very competitive in a dog fight. If your trying to disengage your going to have a hard time in a 109F-4 anyway because it's slow. It's roll rate isn't great either. But use it's superior climb combined with a good rate of turn and you'll do well. The 190 in any of the game versions gives me fits. I can't seem to do a thing with it. I almost never fly it.

I had a 5/1 K/D in the P47D in the main arena.
