ith the 190 lousy drop of its guns you are dead meat against any Hispano equipped plane, and good luck HOing a P47 in a 190, a draw is what you get against most of them.
My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.

The only two 190's I'll touch are the A-5 and the Ta-152.


The A-5 is the best knife-fighter of the bunch, but can still play the BnZ game, which covers for its only real weakness of a relatively low top speed (shared by A-8). Basically, it just gives you a better chance to fight your way out of a mistake.

Flown properly, its going to be a lot like a well-flown Typhoon. Sets up high on his perch, dives in and blows your tail off, extends a bit, an climbs back up.



Now the Ta-152 works high or low, though its optimized for extremely high altitudes (as in 30K+). With WEP, its actually a decent performer in terms of speed and climb, though its not the top of the class by any means. The Ta-152 holds E extremely well, retaining speed from a dive, and even through turns (relative to the other 190's) is what this plane does well.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

Mr West Texas Messiah got me to thinking....

The 190A8 has an awesome weapons package and for the noob just tool'n through the hangar would likely see that as a potential ho'bird. Of course, this brings absolute shame to the Butcher Bird Mafia community. Maybe those of us that prefer the smell of a well oiled 190 should hold a weekly or bi-weekly Butcher Bird flight school in the DA or TA. Anyone else think this a good idea and would help?

Change of plans....I'm going to be out of Aces High for a few months. I hope others take up the A5 hops.
