I suppose I have logged as much 190 time as anyone in the game now. Yes...you can pull your wings off in all variants...BUT...it is difficult to do under normal flight circumstances and can count on 1 hand how many times it has happened to me.
Flaps...for sure. Aggressive use of flaps in the A-5 is a game changer...not only at the top of the vert reverse, but down in the weeds as well. Combined with roll and rudder, the A series is capable of pulling off some surprises...even the A-8. Fly and fight uphill all the time, using small yoyo's, and e retaining maneuvers...you may take some lumps along the way, but allot more can be done with the 190 than simply hauling butt in, taking a shot and hauling butt out.
190...love it.
