Tour 159 Fw-190A5 experten

[Babalonian]

NP, I know there's a cutoff.    But some of us gotta make a living, go to night school, and volunteer to help keep vintage aircraft flying.

tis fine. I took a g14 out today(finally got the tail slide/flip
down
pretty good) they can get down and dirt. 190 kills generally take time.


And boo, any way you can lower the bar to 35?

[mthrockmor]

Well...we can lower the bar to 35 or how about you kill 5 more. 

I chose 40 sort of out of respect for Richard Bong and the first time I did this I grouped about 20 sticks.

Boo

[Zacherof]

It also feels lime the last kills are always the hardest.

Going to try a hell of alot harder an get way more aggressive this tour.

[mthrockmor]

Aggressive or patient? The trick with the 190 is to start on good terms. That means climb to 15-17k, stalk your prey and make a good pass on them. That takes time, hence why I always up with 100% and a drop tank.

Patience even plays out when I up from a semi-capped field. I work to get 5-7k of altitude. With that altitude I have the E potential to deal with almost any situation, affords me plenty of time to zoom through the fight, lock onto to random fat American planes, etc.

Just my two cents.

[Zacherof]

 tend to be "timid" as some people call it. Next
time were in together were winging up. So I can watch you and Vis a versa

   I am wayyyyyy to aggressive in that bird.  Trying to find the edge, and I push past it  .  

When are we gonna wing up in the A5 again? Last time we did was a blast.  I promise  I will cover your six better, I have a few hundred more sorties under my belt

Heeeeeeeeeeeeell no.. take an A5 into a furball at around 10k max.

The A5 is the most maneuverable 190 (excluding the 152)...I like to take adv. of that when I do fly it. At a higher alt like 15-17k you may become proficient in aim, E management, and lineups when you dive...but you are really doing an injustice to the aircraft and yourself as it can do so much more.. Catch 'em off guard, no one expects a 190 to fight, I've killed more than a few spit's, 109's, etc. in an A5 because they never expected a 190 to reverse them, or out maneuver their spit...

My 2 cents anyways

Thought I'd just take a break in it to give all you others a chance to shine  8)

[Zacherof]

A5 makes a great fighter to
kill a p38 horde (or any
horde for that matter)i found. And yes redbull I'm trying to make her fight.

[killnu]

what redbull said...that is why have done so well in A8.
