[@Sturminfantrist]

Its decent at 5.0 flew it first time yesterday in air RB sadly i wasted the plane in GF RB years ago tho bad KD and kill per Mission rate, yes the airstart is a big advantage , had yesterday 1 loss for 15 Kills but i rate the 190F-8 as better then the A-8, the 2x20mm and 2x 13mm are enough to kill even heavy bombers in one pass, have now 18 Missions in F-8 with 32 airkills and only one loss best run was the first game in the F-8 with 4 Playerkills. I fly both more defensive and tactical because iam not very good in manourve fights, i only fly solo but i think flying the A-8/F-8 in a squad with a good fightermix 109Gs , Dora-9 and/or Dora-13 for highcover is a big advantage, when i flew Spits MkVb/trop in a Clan for few weeks we engaged even 109F and G squads with altitude and speed advantage and shot em down, in a good clan your KD skyrockets. But because i fly solo now i wished the A-8/F-8 would be on BR 4.7 in RB air, you cant survive in an A-8/F-8 against Tempest II, F2G-1, LF IX Spits ect. when your Noobteam is out because they did farm GT or airbots low level or going for the first red down low to the deck and you are alone vs 7-8 red fighters. You cant even land and J out safe because often the Flak at airfield is drunk or stoned and didnt work proper. This manipulated things pissed me on sometimes flak is deadly as hell and shoot down 2 or 3 reds in a half minute sometimes the Flak is inactive and enemy fighters strafe the field and farming Flaks with ease unpunished.

I swear it's like watching myself play when he flies the 190s, though I don't take the a8 much honestly due to the recent f2g spam. Favorite playstyle getting into knife fights and reversals in the 190, people always underestimate a competently flown one.

[@poguemahone5476]

Love focke wulfs. Probably the first cockpit layout that was ergonomically designed to reduce pilot workload. Just bought the Dora yesterday after your sale video and had 1 game before bed. It was like playing on easy mode after grinding the British fighters up to 5.3. 😂

[@Jaeger_89]

Though my favorite is the Ta 152, all Focke-Wulfs hold a special place in my heart. I think they are the best planes to forge a good skill-set for Air RB, regardless of what BR you want to play. If all those low level Tier 6 premium buyers went through a couple months playing 190s before they skipped to Tier 6, they'd be a lot less useless. 190s are not bad planes, but IMO, they do require the pilot to be more careful with positioning and planning before engaging and are noticeably more unforgiving than most other planes once you fuck up...

[@Blitzcreeper239]

Indeed, the roll rate, flaps and armament make it a great guns platform, but if you don't have altitude to dance or dive, reversal options are few, save for your evasion skills.

[@1rb1s_]

@Jaeger_89 I wouldn't recommend 190's to anyone trying to learn props simply because they have too much going for them aside from performance (roll rate, guns etc) and as a result their raw performance mostly ranges from very bad to average/below average for their BR. I'd say it's easier to fly planes that actually have competitive performance, not just good handling/guns. But for jet combat (especially top tier or near top tier), 190's do teach a few important lessons. First of all, they are mainly support fighters. Good at killing preoccupied enemies, but tend to crumble as soon as their team crumbles because they don't have raw performance for 1v1's (or even worse 1v2's). That's essentially the same at top tier, numerical advantage are much more important than in prop BR's. Secondly, let's face it 190A-8 loses to most 5.0's in literally every single performance metric (I mean just look at D-30 or D-28). And that's 5.0's, if you're uptiered you see F2G's, Tempests, La-9's, F4U-4B's, MG Bearcats etcetera. You're very often fighting an uphill battle, and while for prop BR's that's more of an anomaly (most good prop fighters have reasonable odds even in uptiers), with jet BR compression this becomes the new norm at rank 6-7. Again 190 teaches you how to approach these matchups where you're totally outperformed in such a way that you have at least some chances.

[@Blitzcreeper239]

@@1rb1s_ He means to forge a good skill set, so you probably already mastered the basics. I agree with you that beginners should play planes with some form of decent performance metric up their sleeve. UK is good because the Spitfires turnfight and you can learn some semblance of energy fighting with Typhoons(but their turn gives them room for mistakes) and Tempests fully rely on energy tactics. Japan and Germany are also good choices, Russia with the MiG-3s and Yaks for beginners are pretty solid too. But once you mastered the basics, I do find that putting yourself in a Fw-190 can force some extra effort as you have much less room for error. But Fw-190s are decent at defensive flying so it's still its one saving grace if you have the altitude to expend.

[@elgrandjefe4661]

I'll add that I had to improve a lot on my shooting with Russian planes. The yak 3 has so little ammo you got to make it count. And yes, running the Doras I had to learn to be a lot more careful with position - and keeping speed up and do slashes.

[@elgrandjefe4661]

The A8 is at a huge disadvantage, yes. The D13 works better, but its a brick so I play it almost like the 262. Get height, keep distance, hover over busy enemies, slash, get back out of the area while regaining energy.

F2G better climb rate ? That stupid thing does'nt care about gravity at all , like most high BR props . Climb up 1000m straight in the air and lose 150kph , the Ta152 models can do this also . That's just bullsh*t , other planes or jets lose 100kph if you make a roll . This is what makes air RB so hard , you need to know every plane . You can't rely on your knowing of physics , cause every plane no matter how big and heavy acts different or has fake stats .

I am learning so much from your commentary and gameplay.

For Example: I have been playing C.205s lately. I have only a level 6 crew for this vehicle, because I haven’t got so much crew Exp. while grinding through the Italian tech tree. So while flying C.205 Serie 3, I have been losing a dozen of dog fights because of high G-forces that this low level Pilot could not withstand. This is highly frustrating.

In Reallife they clipped the wings to have better roll rate at lower altitudes, the did it first with the MKV later with MKIX and XVI so i think they had a good reason to do it and it worked , if it was no advantage they had abadoned it after the MKV One of Gajins miracles i think they nefrt the CW SPITs . the 190F-8 compared to Fw190 A-8 think they nerft the A-8s guns , flew both planes last days first time in Air RB and no problems with the F-8 MG151/20 when firing longer firebursts but in the A-8 i have constant overheating/Jams with my 151/20
