FW-109 A8 Small Showcase from my first flight

It doesn’t help. When I use them in Fw, it for some reason causes plane to pull up and then it rolls on it’s backs to get back on target. And movement lefr/right is minimal if any.

check 1:30 in my vid where i directly get the plane to correct downwards with holding the rudder. Rudder is also excellent to use if your flaps are broken to compensate for the loss.

It also helps you during strafing to spray in larger areas or to correct your aim

FW needs practice, it is sensitive, but after checking on wikis and you tube, there is a reason for this roll, the plane had electronics and assisted elevator and airlerons which meant the pilot had to move the stick less, I still can roll over sometimes, especially when freelooking but this plane takes gentle maneuvers, keep at it, this plane is I think best unless you prefer 109’s

I don’t know. Imo it’s shit.
It does MANY weird moves on it’s own. Like, there are situations when I don’t even touch the controls and it does something.
It feels like I’m fighting with my plane instead of fighting with the enemy.

Like this one for example:

It behaves like it lost a wing, meanwhile even flaps are intact.
This is quite extreme example but lesser moves are quite common. I have no idea how to fly this plane.

You never get faster with it than 450kmh unless diving. But flat horizon flight max 452 can be reached.

And its woopling like crazy, sometimes even uncontrollable. Nah, I stick with BF-109 G and BF-110 and Ju-188 since the Me-410 is kind of useless compared to the 110

Back as the FW just entered Normandy it was good aside of the gun bug. Then one update came, all of a sudden FW was bs and is bs to this day.

Yes but to me its not about if you can reach the top speed but in what time it can reach it which comes to what power it delivers in to what it can perform. 109 G10 is the best ofc when it comes to air combat but this one is pretty neat asw in both ways being able to take out tanks and perform air combat which i pretty much like :slight_smile: And it got some good armor to… But its all matter of preferens ofc If you like being an Attack pilot, bomber or whatever. If you wanted my advice as you dont like the G10 i would much more prefer this one instead of the 109 G6 but this one is also more for advanced piloting per say so is also good thing to keep in mind

The ME410 i cant say much about rn but i can see its an slaughtering ship with all those 20mm and 7s xD Going to be fun both hunting planes and strafing with those in mind. Maybe it finally got some good armor to for being German Engineering for a change

To add: Also think that the top speed was nerfed a bit due to it would be to OP rn if they could reach it. Perhaps later when Airstrips will be introduced or if…which im so so with even if i didnt like the modern reload in air type of game play and are more used to old Bf3 type of reloading i came to terms with it ^^

This video highlights my prior complaint about the FW-190 D-12 in Berlin. Same behavior on a ground attack run.

If you get this worked out, please, please let me know how you did so.

Interesting how people on same platform experience different issues, which then people complain and raise bugs on planes unecessarily.

I know a lot of my complaints on console were related to my freelook config, but I changed it and screen joystick helped me.

I hated FW, now it is my go to fighter, and the p51dC/Ds of course :wink:

Withouth rudder, with rudder, no, with, you get the idea.

Conclusion: nope, still shit.

Also as you can see, using the rudder causes the plane to pull up for no reason.

I don’t want to argue with you in what was an entertaining video thread highlighting some damn good flying, but I just fired up War Thunder (ahead of my usual 7PM roulette spin) and I’ll be damned if the handling of the FW-190 in that game is different from in here. I can sketch up a vector-style drawing to illustrate what is happening, but I don’t want to clog your thread…

so, would you prefer I do it in this thread or should I resurrect my previous thread about the D-12 in Berlin?

I’ve been playing flight sims since back on the C64 so I feel pretty sure I’m not crazy…and I actually expect the Focke Wulf to be a good multi-role plane, and it is, until I go in for a ground attack…

Weird then how i can fly it with not that much problem and you cant…Must be something in your controls i guess

Argue ? were typing about the subject. Where did the rudder tip go to argue from ?. But yes theres alot of things that arent like Warthunder still i have no issue with the plane

They’re great planes. Deservedly so.

I think you’re taking it a little too literally, and maybe didn’t read the entire comment? I need to start remembering that a lot of people run these things through Google translate, and I need to be more concise about my language.

Could you do the same “test” then? Try to ram (head on, not with wing) the 2nd chafee on the left.

So thats what youre trying to do ? ram a tank ? one sec i made it on the first try…Uploading it now

Yeah.

The things you do for science xD

Wrong tank my man :upside_down_face:
Please aim for the same one so we get comparable results.
