And don't give me all that "flown correctly" nonsense, the fact that you have to fly it in a certain way makes it less versatile

Of course, I'm a bomber pilot, so whatever I say might be nonsense

Almost every aircraft has to be "flown correctly", or in a certain way, to be effective. A Mustang in IL2 just isn't a turn-fighter, but correctly flown is almost untouchable against its Luftwaffe opponents. A 109 doesn't like high-speeds, you all know how the controls lock up from 400km/h upwards, while an FW-190 loves these kind of speeds. There just isn't any single aircraft good for every flying style. Oleg's representation of the Russian wonders(La-7 ftw ) is probably the closest thing.

At the end of the day I guess it comes down to comfort with flying styles, Raptor is a bomber man, I like the stable but slow fighters and others like the high speed interceptors.
I guess the Lolwaffles have all the bases covered then at least! |

Don't forget that a plane like the P-51 started out as a ground attack aircraft because the powerplant gave poor performance at high altitudes, it was only until the British put the Rolls Royce Merlin in the P-51 was its true calling as a high altitude escort was realized. The FW-190 was orignally built with one purpose in mind which was a high speed fighter aircraft to out match anything the allies had at the time. I will say this in the catigories of speed and handling the P-51 and FW190 are an even match. If we do fly an all 190 mission again I'm sitting it out.

I must say that now I have the hang of the 190 I'll take it over a 109
Even at slow dogfighting speeds I can take on a Spit...I just found that you have to ease into a turn with the elevators.... If you yank even at high speed you get an accelerated stall. 190 for me given the choice. |

I take what suits best for the role
for example if we have to intercept Bombers with escorts I take the FW190 for a Fightersweep or escort duty I would take a BF109. HunterICX

I still like the 190 its just that I've been flying the 109 for too long. I tryed a few take-off and landing practices with the 190, the landing I don't have a problem with, its the take-off because the 190 is higher off the ground than the 109. I can take off with the external view on but I don't think Hunter will change that of just on pilot.

I will be out of action for a bit, I'll try and fly maybe once a week.
Working on a little project which you shall be appraised of once I have something good to show apart from the little I have done up to now. |
