Fats, I'm waiting impatiently too!
After all those fights where I have been driven to a corner, after all those barely missed snapshots, after all those not so succesful merges I can find out was it just me or my heavy A-8...
Day of redemption is near!!! Earth will tremble (near runway anyway) from sound of sacred BMW 801, lifting The Bird of Prey to the skies (but not above 6 km) to seek righful revenge and to harvest the weaklings and SA challenged!
Ps. Fats, where are you from? Not from finnland?

Ach so, yet another soviet attempt to build a groundhugging airplane to match marvels of teutonic engineering?
Can't be any better than MiG-3 or I-16!
(do these qualify as famous last words?)

All playful banter aside, Jochen, I really do look forward to meeting the 190. It should be a good fight, since the 109G-10s are better suited for the hi altitudes, where the 17s and 51s live.
And one day when we have our Russian front, complete with all relevant aircraft and ground vehicles, it'll be a Hell of a war!

yes I am from finland.

All I can say is....it had better have the right wing crosses unlioke the G10 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
<ok ok I'll shut up about the damn wing crosses on the 109 already sheesh!>

I'm betting that the introduction of the FW into the AH world will substaintally change the dynamic in AH...
...just a thought.
Personally, I can't wait to strap in.

Tsk tsk tsk.... all you LW dweebs forget about the N1K2 that will comeout at the same time (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Thats good tho, all the "masses" will flock to the 190, and will forget about poor little old George, and I can have it all too myself <G>.
Seriously tho, I am a big fan of the Fw190 myself, and I am anxious to see how it fairs here as well.

FW 190A-8? Oh yeah, that's one of the aerial targets P-51s use for target practice after first pounding the airfield with 2x500 lbrs and 6 rockets.

Enjoy it while you can. Sooner or later Pyro and Hitech will bring out the real FW hunter...my beloved Jug. Then we'll watch the Luftwobbles really flee...No better feeling in WarBirds than chasing down an FW and watching your 8x.50s surgically disassemble it...<eg>

Actually I am hoping that the Fw 190 will prove to be a disapointment to the general masses and they would flock to the George.
And if you really think about the performance of A-8 it prolly won't be too popular in the current plane set. It will be outrun by planes that also out turn it... but it will definetly change the arena - it always did in WB RPS when it came, the guns are just so brutal you don't havta worry about anything as long as you have ammo left.

Heh, this is almost sure thing to happen. It's easier for newbies to trust turning ability to get him out of trouble rather than avoid bad situations.

Yup, all those who complain about brand W Fw 190 running away from slightest of problem, well, they should try it themselves someday. Sky full of Moostangs, Bolts and Lightings doesn't really make running an option.
Of course that's why you have that battery of cannons and gunnery friendly handling.
But then again every shot you make from forward quarter of enemy is of course no-skill-required head on attack.

Uh, you guys did see this quote above the screenshot in the News section didn't you?
"Here's a shot of the 190 that Natedog has been working on in addition to finishing up the gunner positions on the B-17. It's still incomplete and no longer looks like it will make it into the next version. "
Oh, I can already hear the wailing and knashing of teeth. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Bring on the 190.. I need something to kill in my Jug.

Lephurn,
What Steve Earle song is that from? Great verse...heh...and it's me who's waiting for the Jug...It's been my favorite plane since I read Thunderbolt! in the 4th grade. Clue me in on that tune though...I need some new music to fly by...

The song is called "When Johnnie Comes Marching Home", and is off of the "Copperhead Road" album. I have to pick it up someplace... there are more to those lyrics. Only a small part of that song is about a WWII pilot (the protagonists father) and goes on about how he meets his wife and takes her back to the US after the war. The remainder of the song is about how the protagonist comes home after Vietnam and there is no hero's welcome.
I will do more research to complete my quotation. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
BTW, I love the P47 as well. It has big power, lots of guns, and is one of the toughest fighters ever built. I always said it was the most "survivable" plane in WB due to it's ability to take damage and to outrun anything in a dive.
