he is right though. an hour or so with a trainer will do you more good than mere words on a forum post...


speaking of which, I should try to get some stick time with a trainer...

I do 100% with a drop tank, always. Heck, if I could attach a fuel truck and drag it around at 17k I would. I run out of fuel before I run out of ammo most times. The 190A5 has 500 rounds of 20mm, which when used in bursts goes a long, long way.

The trick is patience and E management. The 190 series is excellent for several high speed passes then you need to start thinking about egress and reset. I fly the A5 because if and when I get into a low alt, low speed turn fight it is the best turner of the 190s. Contrary to popular opinion it is pretty good down in the weeds, if you know the limits. I've killed plenty of PonyDs, Jugs, 38s, etc in the weeds. Even in the hands of a noob the turner birds are a bit much for the A5 in the weeds.

In any case, as Pervert told me many moons ago, if you want to excell in the 190 (he was speaking of the Dora) prepare to die a few thousand times before it all makes sense.

I believe kappa is telling him to eschew the drop tank in favor of the improved performance (even after the drop tank is gone).

I could be wrong, however.

[Butcher]

Kappa is a veteran player and one of the best 190a5 drivers that I can name and there are extremely few of them. If he says No DT - learn from it, also he has some 190A5 films posted around.

[Debrody]

I was flying the 190D with no DT, 100% fuel, as stupidly as possible.

[Zacherof]

I will try to hit up the TA cause I feel like I'm at the limit of what I can do, when clearly I am not. I undersatnd almost every concept of flying, which is compley different from actually doing it.
