i digged to some threads and says that 190 will get FM remodeling, what's gonna be the FM change for this already ( kinda) excelent hi speed fighter?
-
U guys don't think its uber enough ??
In good hands the FW is a very survivable superb plane.
Maybe they do something on the stick stirrin features of it.
That would be :aok

Bug you should probably do the consulting and advising when they'll review the FM.

yes AH2's 190s can roll, stick stirr, and and dive as fast as 262s, so what's the deal with tweaking 190?
-
The question after so many months is When?
-
Right now AH's FW-190A5 is based off of EB-104.
EB-104 was a captured FW-190G3 (based off the FW-190A5) which the USAAF tried to put back to FW-190A4 standards.
It's performance is not representative of any 190A fighter varient.
All the best,

The G3 incorporated a number of design changes which suited to it role of long range fast attack bomber that make it very difficult to put back to fighter standards.
1. Cooling gills were not adjustable and were constantly open creating more cooling drag.
2. Cowl MG's were removed along with outter wing cannon.
3. Intake was wider to accomodate increased cooling requirements for hauling ordinance long distances creating even more cooling drag.
4. Junkers, Messerschmitt, and Focke Wulf hardpoints created even more drag.
EB-104 had a rated engine and was one of the few the allies actually bench tested for power. It's power development was over 100 hp less than a BMW-801D2 in Luftwaffe service according to it's power curve.
Because EB-104 was too light it climbed much more steeply but slower than a fighter varient FW-190. I expect Pyro will match the German curves meaning the climb rate will decrease and speed increase.
Low altitude speed will increase while high altitude FTH speed will decrease some again falling into the Luftwaffe data.
Turn rate will improve coming very close to the sustained rate of the F6F-5 Hellcat. Instantaneous turn rate will improve not as result of the FW-190's drag profile but due to it's lift characteristics. Pyro has copies of the FW-190's lift polars.
I suspect it's roll rate will improve somewhat over RAE 1231's measurements as well since that report represents an FW-190 with out of adjustment ailerons.
All in All some tweaking which will bring the 190 in line with the correct Luftwaffe data making a much more accurate representation of the design.

A sustained turn rate matching the Hellcat???
Now THAT will be fun!
(Maybe a few more FW's stick around and fight then...)
... And maybe Hell will get a hockey team.
:)
-
A sustained turn rate matching the Hellcat, would be something that outturns all of our AH 109s, the P-51, La-5FN, La-7, Yaj-9U, etc etc etc..
In that case the 'anecdotal' comments on how 109s turned better than 190s would go haywire...

I highly doubt it. The F6F-5 is a several thousand pounds heavier than the FW-190 with almost exactly the same CLmax.
In all probability the AH F6F-5 turns too well.

Heh. I've said similar things about several aircraft in AH. Oddly, fans of those aircraft seem to aggressively disagree with me. Ah well.
It'll be interesting to see what the Fw190 is like after the remodel. It has one of the three best WWII cockpits that I know of. Such a great layout and so funtional.
The Fw190As are just great looking fighters.

Don't go there, Karnak.
We gonna be burned at the stake.
-
The P-51 at least still has those crazy flaps that should continue to drive FW pilots bonkers.
-
The F6F-5 really doesn't have much of a chance in a flat turn against the La-5/7, Yak-9U, 109F-4/G-2 (possibly G-6) ... without using flaps. I doubt wartime tests were done with flaps out.
-
Crumpp, now we got some preview of the 190A. Whatabout the Dora (is it gonna be changed)?

Don't know. It is up to Pyro as is the actual changes to the FW-190A.

So, did we get these changes in the latest patch?
At least the roll rate seems more sluggish than before. Turn rate, especially sustained is way better than before, but not quite like a Hellcat.
-
Opinions vary, but I dont think they changed changed anything other than they now model the drag of the ETC bomb/DT rack after the DT is dropped. I think the rest is placebo.
-
I belive you are correct grits.
-
Crumpp, you got my email concerning the D9 material at the Smithsonian?
-
Got it and replied!
