Yes the Fw 190s also have a better sustained turn with flaps, but that wasn't the point of the video

[@williammontgrain6544]

Yes please

[@itsdecz1190]

I think doing a 'tutorial' on flaps would be really useful as using flaps is something everyone can do, using them correctly is a completely different story though.

[@thomassowers7709]

agreed

[@moriartyholmes8172]

Would love to see that. Flaps can make or break certain planes. Like all the Italian fighters are super reliant on using their flaps to dogfight and if you rip one then you are screwed.

[@theoriginalcz272]

Yes I agree

[@stevoe6271]

indeed. explaining the difference between when to use takeoff flap and combat flaps would be helpful to the community, in my opinion.

[@bootstraspbill]

Yes please do a tutorial on flaps please

[@michakaminski6574]

Flaps video is definitely a brilliant idea. Especially since they shouldn't simply be used every time you turn/take off/land, but when actually needed. I'm pretty sure I'd learn few ne things from a video like that. So do it! Just do it!

[@Webly101]

So, I know I’m late here; but when should you use flaps for taking off and landing? I usually use the “takeoff” flaps every spawn, should I not be? Is there actually a wind direction in game?

[@michakaminski6574]

@@Webly101 Using Take off and Landing flaps is actually pretty self-explanatory. When you spawn, drop the flaps to take off position, full throttle and after you get airborne retract them. Same with landing. Throttle to 0, few sharp turn to bleed speed and flaps down stage by stage, looking for flaps rip warning. In most props you can take off and land without using flaps. They are not necessary but helpful. In some bombers and attackers with heavy load, you may need flaps. The thing is, that flaps change the geometry of the wing in such manner, that they increase lift but also increase drag. You need lift on take offs and landing, so this is when they come handy the most. The tricky part is when you should exploit this tradeoff during dogfight, when you need to optimize your agility and energy retention. And for this a nice tutorial would be needed.

[@ccramit]

I remember starting the German grind and getting to my first Fw 190. I was so nervous going into my first 3.0+ match and thought I'd get shot down right away. Got 2 kills in a win and I've love the 190's ever since. Especially the A-1 with multiple 7.92 guns. I don't know why but I prefer 4 small calibre guns with 3400 rounds over the later armament on the 190's. The numerous rounds of ammo helps make up for my terrible aim.

[@briannormant3622]

Yeah but imo the plus about the 7.92 is simply being able to pray and for enemy to bleed speed. The 151 doesn't have the ammo and the range of that kind of thing.

Idk man, i had bad experience with fw 190, got the upgraded version and very excited about it and there goes disappointment, the a1 version is like better than a4 i was like this plane can't fukin turn!

[@kingwein89]

Nice to hear someone say that this plane can turn fight with proper flap/energy usage. Can't tell you how many times I've straight up gone balls to the wall in the a5/u2 and surprised players. At corner speed those first 2 turns are usually all you need to end a fight 90% of the time. Tight split S at the merge is a classic move that gives you angles almost instantly cutting inside anything that isn't a spitfire or japanese. Strong landing flaps have come in handy so many times in low speed rolling scissors. Would also add that I have tk'd players for blatant kill steals like that, no remorse

[@niggalini]

Very funny how there's many planes with reputation for poor turn but no one knows about their flaps. Landing flaps on P-47D-28 and M-1 are a good example of this, everyone knows the Jug is fast, fat and doesn't turn but what they don't know is that at low speeds with landing flaps it will outturn a lot of fighters (barring obvious ones like Spitfires, Yak-3's and Zeros)

[@sherlocksinha2435]

The amount of space climbing asses in their J2M's , XP 50 that dive on me only to either get reversed or start scissors is utterly hilarious. Also no one expects the 190/P47 climbing spiral so it's hilarious seeing pilots pitch up for easy kills only to get a face full of lead . I've won so many fights with spitfires by diving below them before the merge and then instantly convert that speed into vertical energy

[@NicoGrosso78]

I love this 190, I think it's the only one that can really exploit the speed difference with other planes

[@echo__noar8676]

I also like the a-5 and d-9 they are also similar in terms

[@echo__noar8676]

A-5 not so much speed itself but its rip speed and flap rip speed is nuts with an amazing armament and the d9 is just bread and butter. good for ground (500kg) bomb and 2x13mm 2x20mm for air. Personally i prefer the d9 over the d12 mostly because ammo count even though i prefer the 30mm nose mounted :)

[@panumastubsee603]

One of (if not) the best 190 in the game great performance overall combine with low BR. Guaranteed 1+ kill per game if you're not ran out of luck I use this plane to grind most of the rank I-III

[@kingghidorah8106]

D9 is the most agile and powerful 190 (well except the premium D13 which has stronger ailerons and can roll better) It can one circle the K4 at 450 with take off flaps and spanks the french P63 in a stall fight

[@TheLazyKat]

I also try to keep as calm as I can when blatant KS happens, but sometimes you just can't control it. one time I stalled two guys out that I previously had critted , a Teammate comes in and cleans them up, I didn't mind that much at first.

[@rse617]

I'm trying to get better with flap usage. I often deploy them too late and forget to raise them again when I go to extend away. This is one of my fav planes so far though I usually stay high on the outskirts of the centre and pick of lone rangers and people that get too close in a stall. Get usually 6-8 kills a game with 1 or 2 planes usually this and the p-47D-16-RE

[@melc311]

[@FINNIUSORION]

If you're a 190 fan / enthusiast like me you should get digital combat simulator 'dcs' and get at least the fw190 a. I have the Dora as well. Very accurate. It's a simulator so you have to accurately control every aspect of the aircraft just as in real life. You can control every single knob, dial, switch, lever, ect and you get real world reactions. If your fuel/air mix is too rich with your prop angle to fine you can get knock and blow your engine..and so on. I'm downloading war thunder right now to give it a try. Kurt tank the designer of the fw190 said 'if the bf109 is a racehorse then the fw190 is a warhorse ' it was by far the best designed fighter of ww2 and aspects of that design such as redundant electrical systems for your control surfaces are things that were used first in the 190 and still used today by every single serious designer on the planet.

[@diegoplanellperea9321]

i cant believe that the A-1 and the F4U-1D are now at the same br as the boomerang premium, it just shows how bad Gaijin and their method is at balancing vehicles are

[@rainsilent]

They largely leave it up to the player base to vote on BR changes. A few weeks before they make them they make threads in the forums where anyone can make suggestions. Planes like the F4U-1s and P-39N have been getting asked to go down in BR for a while now and Gaijin recently let them do it.

I used to fly 109s all the time until I finally tried the FWs and they are such amazing planes. They’re fast, extremely powerful, they take hits for days like the American Corsair does, they have great cannons and lots of MG rounds and are just super fun to fly.

[@adrianmichael1332]

for me whenever I'm playing a corsair and I get shot I just break down into pieces

[@thegrayjedi5202]

Well you gotta think, the Corsair is made for high speed dive/energy fights. So if you get hit in a bad spot and you’re flying correctly you’ll fly apart like a piñata because of the high speed. But typically any wing and main fuselage shots can be taken quite a bit. I love it. Edit: I mainly play the 3.3 USMC Corsair so maybe the others are a bit different in taking dmg I’m not sure.

[@adrianmichael1332]

Personally I like the F4U 1D corsair, which got moved down to 3.0 from 3.3 for no reason. But now it shreds apart everything else just because of speed difference

[@warrencan4221]

I think a lot of people have a problem with climbing properly, maybe it’s just me and I’m trying to speak for everyone like a douchbag but it seems no matter what plane I play from 109’s to P51’s there is always someone playing the same plane with almost a 1 to 1.5 km altitude advantage. So how do you personally climb with the climbing speeds that are given? Like with a 109 should you try to wep as long as possible at 20* or get your speed up then climb at a faster IAS?

[@zedoktor979]

Every airframe has max climb at a given IAS. Angle is meaningless. Use mec.
