Your favorite Fw 190 variants and why

[Saurdaukar]

I like the A5 with twin 20mm only.

This.

A5

but I rather not fly 190s unless i hav a wingman.  having trie wingman tactics with the 190, i realize that soloing in them does the suit the plane.

the D9 i a better 190 though. . . it has the power to really put ht pressure on - but i prefer mid war airplanes.

How can you use maneuverability and 190 in the same sentence? They don't turn for crap.

In-game, the D-9 is my #1, with the 152H-1 a close second.  All my all-time favorite 190 variants though aren't entirely in the game, that would be the D-13, D-11 (was minimaly manufactured and in active service... but still, was in active service! *puppy eyes twords HT's general direction* ) and the short-winged Ta152C series of aircraft (which a few prototype/development models were made and saw action, but beyond that did not enter official production before the end of the war ).

If I had a personal wishlist, it would be for two aircraft: a D-11 or D-13 and a G-3 or some G-varient would be nice to see in the game some day.

Thankfuly, unlike you, most of us cartoon pilits know how to turn and manuever our aircraft in more ways than the one poney trick you know of, which is to just pull back on the stick.

I had similar experiences with the FW's in that for some reason the A8 was the one I did well in at first.  Once I learned better energy/speed management I became much better in the Dora.
