I need some Fw-190D Help
I bought the Fw-190D in the sale and I've been flying it every night when I come home from work and I've truly fallen in love. I've gotten more than a handful of kills in it, she flies so well and the gun sight makes kills so much easier. The only thing I can't quite seem to master is how to properly evade enemy P-51's. It seems like if I don't get the jump on them first and they get on me, that's the end and I'm shot down. I've tried running away, climbing, can't turn with him. Every maneuver I do the Pony out does me, I need some help. If you could give me some help or a few tips that would be wonderful!

Don't turn with them, engage MW50 and just outrun them or outclimb them (or both). If it real trouble and enemy Mustang is on your 6 and guns range, then use your roll rate and outscissor him. Good pilot will kill you though.Schmuck wrote:I bought the Fw-190D in the sale and I've been flying it every night when I come home from work and I've truly fallen in love.

Also, pick the altitude just below the Pony's 2nd supercharger gear kicks in. With practice and good throttle work, I find it possible to outturn the 51 in horizontal fight if it needs be. Depends on how much fuel he's got.

What Robo said. The Dora will out-run, out-climb and out-scissor the P51, fly it a bit like an Emil against a Spit mkI. If you can, try and fly with Ironjockel and learn the dark arts from the master of the DoraRobo wrote:Don't turn with them, engage MW50 and just outrun them or outclimb them (or both).

That was a lot of help. I scored 3 player kills in one sortie and about 30 kills against the AI in 2 missions with my wing man over at 9./JG27 server, really great time! Thank's for the help I've been so swamped with work and life that I find barely enough time to practice these skills but I had today free and flew the whole day, I love this war bird!
