heh, agreed. You can't fly the thing under 250 or it snap-stalls. That's just not right.

Here's hoping the A-8 flies better!

Wonder if they can do anything about the visibility issues from inside the 190s. Would be nice, sorta like they did with the 38?

lol kind of true...

the reason i have such bad "stats" in it is i usually never get above 5-7K with it, and every night im in a stall fight on the deck with a pony or spit. i keep thinking i can beat em...

though i will automaticlly be thought of like a runstang. ROFL


i really think the skies will be FILLED with 190's for a long time, they are great planes, jack of all trades, and people will probably get sick of them and up la7's enmasse LOL

Don't forget that he said there will be an overhaul of the N1K2's flight model.

That's far more important than an overhaul of the 190's. Why? Less dweebery.

Sure, I like the 190's a lot more, and would like to see them get a complete overhaul like the P-38L got in 2.02. But cutting out dweebs is just more important.

Great! Now when I see another 190 running (as 97% of them do) I can rest easier knowing its their complete lack of staying power and not the porked flight model of the 'Run90'.

Then again, if this patch makes a couple more 190s actually want to fight it will be worth it. :D
Title: Dev update in news... 190 is a lock
Post by: Panzzer on February 01, 2005, 05:04:24 PM
It's the Doras that are running, the other 190's (A or F) don't have the option to run since some La or other is going to catch them anyway... For the A's or F8 it's always outnumbered, never overgunned.

"How do you know it won't be better than it is now? Automatic combat flaps and all."

Because the n1k's automatic flaps would make it as dangerous to fly in high-g's as it was in real life (from what i read the n1k pilots had serious control problems with the butterfly flaps activating when they least needed them... exactly my biggest gripe with the 38 and the autoflap retract in the game, only that a n1k would be worse since the flaps would deploy and retract on their own at any given time making you spin or lose the fight for some other reason).

The N1K's automatic flap system was very reliable, unlike it's engine.

Since I only fly the 19A8, I cannot speak about all 190's.

I find the A8 flys well, stable and predictable from about 110mph to 550mph.

It handles the deck as well at 20K.  I try and stay above 350 mph in an engagement.  (I have engagements not fights).  I handles very well at speed.  Certainly not as good as a Hog, Pony or Lavotchkin.  But still very well.

It has a reasonable rate of climb, dives well, runs on the deck fast enough to get you into a friendly horde before the LA7 behind you can ping your tail off.

It rolls really really fast, which can be used to throw off a bogey on your 6's tracking shots, or to get him out of sync with you long enough for you to get him to overshoot, or for the cavalry to arrive.  Usually if you can show the bogey that you are not an easy target, they will disengage, because they know that very soon the will be bounced by several of you team mates.

If you get into a slow turning fight with anything other than a late model 109 or 190, you will soon be walking home.

The 190 is a plane that is meant to be flown fast, and with no mercy shown to the enemy.  Strictly hit and run. Stay hight, stay fast, attack, make your firing pass, and get out of dodge.

A-8 is a damn good plane.
You forgot to mention  one of its other attributes
It accelerates really well
 Doesnt turn as well as the A5 But it accelerates well enough to get you out of trouble almost as fast as you got into it.

A-8 and A-5 can turnfight with almost anything for short periods. But the longer you turnfight the more the odds go against you.

It is generally a bad idea to get into an extended turnfight against most of the planes in the game. Particularly  against the EZ mode planes (Spit- La7).

You can go a turn or two but if you dont get a firing solution fairly quickly you better think about extending and getting some speed back

Engine,

And?  You asked for something that would hurt the N1K2-J, in this case modeling it so that the combat flaps were faulty and would extend randomly.  Randomly is bad, just to make it clear.  The combat flaps should only extend when a certain angle of attack is exceeded, not randomly.

I would like to know where you guys think the 190 turned? In any way for or manuer.  I here "don't pork it more than it is"... DOH.  You show me any documentation that shows it turned.

190's did not turn fight EVER.  They were not designed for it and could not turn.  A hog could turn 360 degree's in the time a 190 turned 180. That has been well documented.  Most 190 pilots prefered the 109.  The 190 was designed to be a fast bomber interceptor...nothing more.  It all ready turns to good.  Hope they get it right.

Just what we need is another LaLa or 110 dweeb ride..... NOT

i dont know where you get your dilluded information, but the 190 was considered one of the best planes of WWII.

many many accounts of the pilots finding it better in almost every way over the 109. just for takeoff and landing alone, the 190 was more stable, and easier to fly.

the cockpit was the greatest innovation. it was WAY ahead of it's time, even into the 50's and everyone who flew it loved it.



as far as "turning" you mean tight 140 mph turns at the treetops? that happened like maybe 2 times in all of WWII. when the first 190A3's came onto the scene against the RAF spitV's the spit pilots were shocked at how superior the 190 was in almost every catagory.

try reading more than 1 biased book on the planes before you make rash statements.

Except for turn radius and turn time.

That said, Crispy's version is highly exagerated.  The Fw190 did not turn quite as well as the Bf109, but it wasn't some "bomber-killer" only fighter.  In fact, it was markedly superior to the Bf109 at killing fighters, regardless of what Barbi says.

I agree with JB73. Every account I've read from Luftwaffe pilots in WWII, was that they thought the 190 was a much better airplane than tha 109 overall. I'm sure there were some pilots that would rather be in a 109 than a 190, but that wasn't the majority.

there's a rumor that 190A-5's perf will be changed

*reduced climb rate as you go higher
*faster deck speeds (350 +- mphrange)
