The Fw 190 D-13 Is Still A Certified Hood Classic

[@KekusMagnus]

2013 players still remember the endless D-13 spam that consistently wiped the floor with allied teams

[@Jaeger_89]

I remember facing P-80s back when this thing was 6.0 (or 6.3, I can't remember exactly which)...

[@blacktiger974]

it was a proper UFO back then. good times.

[@weasel1959]

I had so much fun. It's still my most flown plane

[@skyscream]

[@forzaferrari9912]

I remember all of it. In fact, I'm always pretty nostalgic about the D13. It was my first premium aircraft ever and I owe this beast all my skill and tactics. I basically learned how to get good in the game with this thing. It also printed me metric tons of SL. This was my first and the best in-game purchase.

[@jayklink851]

Briefly tapping (or toggling) the take off flaps, but not allowing the flaps to fully extend, maybe 1/4 of the way, while using the elevators to turn, is probably the best 190 advice I've received from DEFYN.

the dream of the spitfire mk24 goes on

[@Burger274-Gaming]

The very first premium plane I bought when I started playing in 2013. It is also the first plane I got an aced crew with and still the one I have the most battles and kills with in Air RB. The D-13 was good even when it was 5.7 and 6.0 BR all those years ago. It had a much better win rate before the Ju 288 was introduced into the game.

[@Dbars19]

[@Johnny_OSG]

Any plane *flies* Defyn "the ENERGY is stored in the BALLS 😤😤"

[@judet2992]

Damn, DEFYN was feeling *devious* for this one.

[@masondegaulle5731]

When I try a Defyn move and fail, I then go back through and find out why, what _I_ did wrong. Usually it's because I've misjudged how much energy they're still carrying and I haven't spent enough time on my knees. I don't think I've ever thought "Defyn must just get easy enemies" because that's denialism in what the actual issue is (skill issue), and completely illogical. I've now seen hundreds of Defyn's matches, and the statistical anomaly required for defyn to even get half the necessary "easy mode" players is wildly improbable to the point of seeming impossibility. Each new match in which Defyn is given a confederacy of dunces exponentially diminishes the already impossible odds to the point where considering the crux of the issue is "Defyn gets easy enemies" is absurd. So, Defyn - Forget those comments, the people who posted them should consider themselves lucky they don't forget to breathe while they sleep.

[@KekusMagnus]

Defyn also has superhuman aim. I have thousands of hours in this game and I can rarely hit the deflection shots like he does. It makes a world of difference when you cripple/kill an enemy with a single pass versus having to reset and go for another one

[@masondegaulle5731]

@@KekusMagnus This is the song of my people... I'll hit maybe 1/10 of those passes.

[@GspotBaller]

Don’t worry Defyn I always do exactly what you do And stomp the enemy team Still have some planes I struggle with The F-86k, I still haven’t gotten an ace The F-104G (I only have like a dozen games on it) i can’t get a consistent game But for the most part Even in relatively bad planes, planes like the P-47 or Me-262, F-84 I just average a 3 kill game With planes I’m good at, the G.55, Re.2005, G.91 I get aces often, and my average is probably a 6 Some of it is me just slowing down, and actually thinking through my engagements, but I’ve also learned a lot from you, thanks and keep up the good work!

[@KrisLI1408]

I just played D-13 the other day first time in a few years, didn't remember the gun to be that good.

[@BoopSnoot]

Well, in real combat the objective was not for each side to make a bunch of fighters to shoot at each other, it was primarily to deliver ordinance to knock out ground and water based targets. So the ticket simulate that, so that fighters can remember a bit that they only exist to protect the bombers and attack planes.

@@reinbeers5322 it is barely 1kmh faster than the fw190d, it also climbs worse and has very far away mounted guns making aiming quite hard. The worst trait of it is how it just doesn't turn at all so you will have to cope when coming down from the spiral climb. For the record the do335 does what sea fury does much better, even climbing, alas it compresses really bad at 750 ias where sea fury pulls 9g's (and d13 pulls the same g's earlier)

Defyn on your opinion Ki83 or F7-F3 Tigercat???

[@rainsilent]

I'm not Defyn but I'll share some comparison facts. The F7Fs are faster below 3km. They have a better roll rate. The Ki-83 is better in every other performance metric. The Ki-83 will get to 3km in 1:40. The F7F in 2:12. They will get to 6km in 3:31 and 4:58 respectively. The F7Fs don't have any performance advantage over any single engined fighter that sits at 5.7 sans level flight speed in some comparisons. The Ki-83 outclimbs virtually everything below 6.0 in BR.

[@DEFYN]

The ki83 also spawns a whole KM higher lol F7f is better for flying suicidal and fragging but overal the Ki83 is just better

[@DEFYN]

You said 1 sentence and were wrong twice, incredible The D9's engine is tuned for altitudes below 5.5km and is ever so slightly lighter so its straight up a better plane all around than the D12 Better turn, climb and speed untill you reach 6km The D13 is a D12 except it has a much better rollrate especially at high speed because it has hydraulic ailerons

What if Gaijin changes the ticket system for example, instead of deducting 100 points per target we just add 100 points for the team and set a 30-minute match time limit, or if one team has no active player left the match will end and the team with higher score win.

[@ManySeptims]

I know you posted this four months ago, but I need some advice. I just played a game where I went up against an I-225. I've had trouble fighting them in the past due to their high performance, especially at my favorite altitude: 6km. I wasn't able to fully maneuever after the merge (he was above me flying a little faster) as I got distracted by a phone call (though as you can infer from before I was already in a losing position at that point. I wanted to ask if you think the D-13 can even be remotely competitive against an I-225, assuming they engage each other without engaging anyone else - which gives the I-225 the advantage due to its better climb rate. I tried using flaps, but that only helped me for about 20 seconds.

[@ManySeptims]

I'd even thought of diving, but it's difficult if not impossible since they can keep up.
