Fw-190a
~S~ Ivan,
You left out speed. That is even without WEP, not included in CFS for 190's. The P51 has to use WEP to catch you and if you are lucky, their engine goes out. If you can flip it you can get another head on, or wait until they stop chasing you and chase them. It still ends up in a head on. The best way to fight them is in teams of two. One leads the 51 to the other team member. Get a few shots into him when you can and try to stay away when you can't. I have tried to practice the flip, but not enough to be effective yet. I guess the ones who use it did it so much it has become second nature. I just wish I did not have to mess with the trim settings to do it.
~S~ anbu,
You are right on them being predictable. It is like memorizing the Pac-Man pattern. I had scores way above 50k and started leaving them blank to erase my names. As I recall I could never erase the high score. That was with unlimited fuel and ammo.

Hi Johnny,
I remember the CFS Me109G topped out at 485 mph, but I didn't remember the Fw190A being that fast. The real aircraft were not quite as fast as a P-51. I will have to check it out.
By flip, I presume you mean an Immelman? When I was experimenting with my Fw190A (which I hope is reasonably accurate), I found that one needed to watch the G-meter. Pulling over about 3G was not a good idea unless one had the killing shot. The plane is fairly heavy and has a tiny wing. Basically it mushes and bleeds off speed pretty badly if the pilot pulls a lot of G. That applies especially when looping. You can bleed off so much speed as to not make it over the top or just float there too long to be healthy.

the 190 has superior speed in a dive and can usually run away from a P51 until they give up the chase.
there is also the auto pilot quirk that really puts the pedal to the metal....WEP? we don't need no stinking WEP.
in a head on pass, I like to set up a wide pass, then kick hard rudder to bring my guns to bear.
Neo saw that one on Sunday.

Immelman
~S~ Ivan,
The only reason I write your whole name is respect, right s. Well you are right it is the Immelman turn and when done correctly it works. It involves flying at over 315 mph, then putting it into a dive and when it bounces, pull back of the yoke and raise your ailerons at the same time. then return your ailerons and role into your opponent.
