Thanks for all the input. I'll definitely look in the TA to meet up.
To be a little bit more specific about the D on my 6, it could be from any distance and often there is no chance to outrun or dive because they're already shooting and/or I'm already on the deck. Maybe I'm not managing my Alt very well. Maybe that is a tactic; to get a 190 on the deck? I have found the ability (in some situations) to turn with and even out turn some of these aforementioned fighters.
The one I have found regularly to be the most frustrating is the P38 vs. my 190 A-5. However, I have read that there's not much hope vs. a skilled pilot, unless you can get them to bleed off their E first. The Lightning's ability to cut you down at D1000+ is a little frustrating and even in a Dora I've not been able to out-run them, in that situation they must me managing their E, right?
Anybody with videos illustrating how to use the 190 to the best of its' abilities?
Anybody willing to look at some of my videos and critique?
TIA,
Rot
