WIsh I recorded but let's just say I yanked the stick a bit hard to find myself missing me left wing. I've been flying the a5 for the past 2 tours and this has never happend to me. Idk why it did so in the a8

Brooke just posted one of my thoughts, though compressibility effects are relatively mild in 190's, in my experience with other planes, it seemed likely that I was at the threshold of compressibility effects, and got more stick response than expected and overstressed the wings.  Another possibility I was thinking is that your stick may have just registered an unusual spike, showing the game more input than you were intending.  Do you have a small amount of dampening in your stick settings?  That is supposed to smooth out spikes that the game could see as inputs?

Yesterday I ripped the wings off a Dora, was in the 400+ zone, maybe even close to 500. Guess I pulled too hard, was interesting trying to fly back and land...the squirrley-butcher bird only made it about 1/4 of a sector before rolling over and splat in the water.
They're casting their bait over there, see?

The 190s are beautiful, especially the D. One really cool thing in this plane, the opponents are much less likely to avoid the turnfight like plaque.

My 2 cents, so come on Zach, leave the fatass A8 in the hangar  :aok

190d flies beautifully, the one-ping spinner-to-firewall radiator keeps me from flying it.

152 zoom and potent weapons would really be worth the ride, but only if did not share the radiator with 190d, making it too hazardous as  buff killer.

A5 is the most fun of them all to fly, but slower on the deck than the the other 190s, and less armour means more Pilot wounds. No Radiator is a big plus, 7.7mm mg best used at garden parties, only 2 151 20mm.


A8 has guns to down most planes with a burst (both 4*20mm or 2*30mm) ( Yak9 is an exception), it's the hardest of them to fly, but is the most survivable 190 a-series flown correctly.
Seems to  take some more hit points before things go Kaputt compared with the A5, specially from rear.
Faster on the deck than the A5 , will save you from chasing late spits.


This is my observation from how I fly these planes only.
My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.

It happens sometimes in AH. To me it happens with the F6F and Moss VI that I rip off a wing at speeds and G where it normally stays glued together. Could be a stick spike. I also suspect that if the ball is not centered (off yaw trim, or rudder input) it makes this much more likely to happen.
Mosquito VI - twice the spitfire, four times the ENY.

The 152 is awesome.

I am with you on the dora being terrible though.

The a5 is okay I guess.

The 190-A5 is a beautiful aircraft in every since imho. It is truly a spit/pony killer, heck most anything if you set up the lag roll right.
Knife fighting and rolling scissors stand near unmatched due to the incredible roll rate of this bird.
A-5 is most defiantly my plane of preference!  :aok

Zacherof I challenge thee! Bring it on in your 190!  :O :D

 :salute !

190A5 is one of the most beautiful fighters we have. Those spitfires don't stand a chance!  :t

There are two planes in AH: The Fw-190A5, and everything else as targets. The A5 is everything it needs to be. And it can stall fight just fine, drops flaps manage speed and nose angle and you'll be OK.

I have noticed the wings popping off though. Last week it happened twice in as many days. I have never had a wing break prior to that. Did they remodel the 190 series?

There are two type of pilots in this game: Those who fly German planes, and those who don't. We call the latter "Kills"  :D

Guys... you might wanna try taking center fuel/bomb rack when flying 190A-8.  To me the center rack cures the nasty snap stall and kinda make 190A-8/F-8 a bit more stable.
