Toad, now you sound like a real Luftwobble

Not relevant, but I'm pretty sure Jochen should get the award for 'Most disturbing-sounding topic'...

For me started in February, when I joined JG2 and Rip and Weazel showed me how to use the A8    

Is curious how the 190 nuts as me keep flying Fw190A8 50% the time. Zigrat killed me yesterday with a 190A8, And I am quite sure that Hblair if takes a 190 will be really tempted by A8.

Why?...masoquism I guess  . For me,A8 has way better weapons and is faster on the deck.That doest overcome the better maneouverability of the A5 but what the hell, A8 was my trusted ride for 5 months and I love it!. And now that everybody respects Fw190 its easier to survive in A8    


Now in the topic of this thread...well I never pay attention to statistics. As someone said, you might use a plane for base defence and other to do normal missions (not me , I use 190 for EVERYTHING!    ). So its inevitable that some planes will have more deaths that others, only because they riskier use.

Ram;

Weren't you the guy that almost had a premature ejaculation when the A-5 came out?  

LOL    

I seemed to remember saying at that time and few other times "It's the guns, It's the guns".

LOL!  

Mino, I love Fw190A5...but I still fly a lot Fw190A8. Half my sorties more or less. And many of the sorties I fly in A5 are from capped fields (Ask Blitz, as he got my poor prettythang kicked some times yesterday night  ) And in disadvantage.

Fw190A5 makes me get too greedy, as I can pull more than in A8. THe net result is that I lose too much energy in it. In A8 I manage my E better and I fly wiser. Plus I have 15mph more low on the deck and that helps A LOT!.

Plus...I like A5...but I LOVE A8!

I wonder how many of these kills are against ground vehicles?

Maybe we should separate the stats for that. Separate air to air stats and also have air to ground kills.

Might really change the numbers. I think I'd also take kills of a C-47 out of the a2a stats. It's a lot different setting up on an undefended gooney than a defended buff.

Just some thoughts.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!
