Nope, Dora carry less ordnance, have a fraction of P51D endurance, keep E worse in turns.

Also Dora gets it's radiator perforated if you look at it long enough, whereas I've never ever seen a radiator leak on a p51D.


the dora should have the same value as the p51d

Save,
I think that nobody exept you even considers rolling the A8 with just two cannons.
They have to be dedicated A8 pilots, because if they take only 2*20mm + 2*13mm for performance, they are much better off in the Dora.

The 190D is a much bigger nuisance than the P51D right now because of the cannons , climb, and exceleration performance. The majority of people don't fly these planes to the full envelope, but too many 190Ds all over the place create a boring flight atmosphere. In my opinion it's one of the main reasons why the air combat excitment has died in the game. When players can simply hit the x button and "extend away", or groups only fly at 25K and BnZ, its a recipe for boring gameplay that causes people to log. This plane has definitely gotten more popular and I think its a air combat deterant.

In the bomber killer role it's a matter of ordnance on the A8.

Lets say you're out to fight at medium alt Spits in a melee arena, and a bomber set show up- B17s..

You are equipped with 2*20mm and 2*13 mm 50% fuel to stand any chance against those pesky spits.

You HO and kill the mid bomber in the set, and then you have to be lucky to get a second before you have to fly home with half a wing ( if the bomber gunners are good).

Flying  at altitude with a 2*30mm 2*20mm 2*13mm and a pair of anti-air rockets is a whole different ballgame.

Flying in a Mossie you enjoy the advantage of 4 Hispanoes 4 nuisance mg's and suffer from a fragile pilot.

I DO know what I'm talking about, no-one else have the accumulated number of sorties in the A8 last 8 years I have.
Absolutely agree, I just don't know why you are flying an A8 with 2 gun package when you could just up and A5 instead ;)

Fw190a5 is a cheating plane, it can turn without going back to the field to do it   :aok

If I wanted to fly planes that don't give me a challenge I just start spending my 23k+ perk points, but what is the point ?
