Is it just me, or do the 2 190's have a problem with the rudder being shot off from and direction? I've been shot head on by ww's and bombers, and the rudder has been the first to go more often than not. Even had a few 1 ping shots from in front of me take it off, making it unflyable, even making it fly backwards when shot off.
-
I fly the Fw-190A5 almost exclusively and rarely lose the rudder. Sometimes but rare. I would think you've had random bad spot.

Ya the a5 is the only one I don't fly often.
-
normally first the outer cannon go ,then oil leak, then half of one wing or the other outer gun.
-
Save hit it spot on. Rarely have I lost a rudder, but I tend to ride the A5 over the other variants.
-
i drive 5-8-F. I agree with boo,save and bacon. it is almost a never thing in my instance, that rudder hangs in there like a champ.

I honestly don't see why anyone would pick anything other than the A-5 for air superiority flights. The A8 and D9 are simply less dangerous, and not just because they tend to be flown worse.

Full disclosure, I am a self proclaimed member of the Butcher Bird Mafia, which is based on the beautiful A5.
I've gone head to head against all of the other 190s and can count on one hand how many times I've lost. The Dora and 152 are faster but that only lasts so long. I've been told the 152 outturns the A5 though hasn't happend yet. All good birds, and very dangerous though the A5 is the knife fighter.

hey Boo...try fighting in a 190-f8. it's ugly but can be fun...

190F8 is arguably the worst dog-fighter in the game, if you learn to survive in the F8, you have in effect taken a masters in SA.
-
190F8 is no worse than a P47 below 10k.
-
Any type of p47 will out-turn a F8, and do not lose E like the E-vaporizing F8.
The 47-m can , and the 47-N can probably catch a F8 at all altitudes, only roll and terminal dive speed is better in the F8.

When light, the F-8 isn't horrible. If you get caught on ingress, you can basically kiss any chance of getting ordnance on target good bye, but if you ditch ordnance, and set yourself up smart before the first pass, you might still get back to base.

Obviously, you have not spent much time in a P40F. ;)

I love my jug. U hit some thing and it will go down. A d40 is a awesome stall fighter. Don't not my jugs

I've just started to fly the 190's in eight years I've been here, I've flow. Them more in the last week than the whole time. I do like them tho, can't wait to get proficient in them! Any tips ?

Speed is life, If you ever fly a 190 into comba,t and flying slower than 300 you are not using its potential.
All 190s behave different : concentrate on one.
Evasives you are successful in one version are more likely to be horrible in the other.
A series is best used with patience, whereas the 190d and 152 can go en'par with late rides.
I've successfully had 9:1 k/d in the F8, by selecting my fights, not only picking, but you must judge early if you meet an expert or a newbie in his spit16, and not fight with a full fuel plane, a Lancaster can,and probably a B17 can outturn you if you both are slow at altitude.
The A5 is the turny and most fun plane to fly ( cheatingly good ;) ) outer guns useless against fighters, because you never hit with them.
The A8 is a challenge to survive in, all but some 4-engined bombers out-turn you, and you lose E fast, takes much more punishment before a pilot have a PW. Good snapshot guns. 30mm have only 60 rounds each. 2*20mm or 4*20 recommended against fighter targets, some like the instant satisfaction with the 30mm though.
Hasty pullup's without full trim impossible , faster then the A5, more internal fuel, never take the external tank, and you outdistance spit16s.
The F8 is an attackplane that be used with E advantage for fighter work ,can really take some punishment no other German plane can, and few others.
The Dora-9 is the speed-champ that can contend with most LWA planes if you don't horizontal, and you must be light on the stick.
The 152 is the fast Alt-monkey with a 30mm in the nose with 90rounds and 2*20 in wing-roots, turns prolonged better than the dora ,vicious stalls. D9 better performance below ~20k, WEP is 2nd to none, good range.
