Even as attacker there are better alternatives IMO.


TimRas (handle the same).


This game has excellent statisctic- and lets you see some of them.

This a good one for overall plane performance

This is a good one to look up individual performance in particular planes

HTC has a few links too

I guess you can say I'm an advantage fighter.  I've been flying the 190A-8 this tour and I will run if the advantage isn't there.  I've dragged many a plane to their death as those who fly around me can testify to.  I'd rather drag a guy to his death by another friendly than risk doggin it into a bad position.  The defensive capabilities of the 190 are limited to a few moves.  Scissors work great, but if the opposition doesn't bite you're in trouble.  Generally I'll use b&z tactics and keep the plane above 200mph where it flies best.

As for the P47, you can tell right away if the jug driver knows what he's doing or not.  I won't give up my advantage to those planes, especially if I can guess who's flying them;)   I'll stay away from those 56th guys (you guys rock) unless I have the advantage.  I won't allow them a shot at me, it's only way to stay alive.  Force them to play my tactics where I get the kill every time (mostly).:)

On a side note 190's when I see them they die rather easily.
28 kills versus 2 deaths to 190's this tour.

163 kills in D9 and 9 deaths (6 deaths due to ack and gv's)
48 kills 4 deaths in Ta-152
25 kills 4 deaths in 190A5
7 kills 2 deaths in 190A8  (lowest kills for this plane for me in a tour in a year)
7 kills 1 death in 190F8 (same for above)

You need to watch out for WideWing in a SBD as I have seen him kick some butt with it.

Lolololol....

If you really want to observe an artist at work, watch Nath flying a D3A1 Val amongst a swarm of fighters. Invariably, he will land 3 or 4 kills flying a 230 mph dive bomber armed with only two little 7.7mm popguns.

The general rule to be learned is never underestimate ANYTHING with guns...  ;)

P47's, all of them but specially the D11 can turn on a dime even with 75% fuel load and full ammo. One or two nothces of flaps and yer set for a nice turn fight. It accelerates like a devil in a dive but climbs poorly, like a 190 A8 in the climb.

Why does everybody complain about it saying it sucks as a turn fighter?

And after a good 10 second burst, lighting the target like a christmass tree and finally blowing at least one part off that sucker, there comes a friendly typhie or p51 tard pings the already dead plane just a little so he gets the kill and you get the assist... And still, I love to fly the 202 :D

And Tim, try to fly a plane not a NIK or la7...
