Fix FW 190 flight model

This is a dead horse to beat but i’m going to do it anyway… i’m almost confident some US enthusiast dev sabotaged it because of how good a fighter it actually is.

There really isn’t much else to say than the title… it’s a great series held back by flying like a brick.

Yeh been long enough please devs review the flight model for FW, oh and Meteor to 262, if relatively realistic that’s better.

Just imagine the Fw 190 flying as nice as a Bf 109…
After so many complaints, forum topics and bug reports, they wont even acknowledge that there is a problem.
In fact, forum topics on this issue dont even get answered by helpers and such.
I have given up hope on a fix.
It’s a disgrace that such a beautiful and important plane is so bad to fly and they wont ever do anything about it.

Certainly doesnt live up to expectations of what you read about it lol (Also feels somewhat better in Warthunder)

Well which one flew better in real life? I’m assuming the FW had a pretty slow turn. It should be depicted if it was real.

The meteor realistically had a turn rate of 16- and the 262 realistically had a turn rate of 24 seconds. That’s an 8 second difference between planes, in game there currently a 4 second difference. In game the 262 has a turn rate of 17.5…no where close to it’s real turn time. So yes, please change the planes to be realistic and get rid of the massive buff the 262 currently has

I think hes more refering the inbuilt flight instructor kicking the rudder and making it slide

Yeah I mean in game, dont know about IRL.
But surely the Fw’s were better IRL than in this game.
In this game you can take any plane and have fun with it, but not with the Fw’s, it’s mostly a struggle to fly normally and not crash/drift/roll violently etc.

The problem is that the fuel is full.
Basically, we have to fuel it at 50% or less.
Most of the current planes are full fuel. (Only jets have recently been changed to 50%)
Solving the fuel problem alone improves the performance of most planes.

Yes and they are refuelled when you get more ammo.
The planes are too heavy and slow because of this.
Dont need a full tank for a 20 minute battle (not even close to full is needed since there is refuelling)

Is fuel even a factor in game? I’ve flown on full WEP whilst on empty (fuel tank leak), with no problems, fuel seems to effect weight… (not flight time)?

Just this.

Having no fuel doesnt stop engines lol

Explains well why both FW190 and P-51 suck in this game, both have big fuel tanks for their size for long range operation…
