Hello everyone, writing here to see if one could get some advices or help:

 

Is mostly flying FW 190 airplanes as its my fave fighter plane of ww2 and even in real life sat in one :P After I got the battle of stalingrad and kuban games I have gotten hooked on multiplayer and face other players which has beena  dream for me since IL-2 1946 which only enabled me to play against AI. But so far I have made slow progress and is mostly a prey to russian figters, have no issues with flying, landing or taking off or such but my weaknesses are to spott and not get jumped on by enemy planes, and maneuvering, seen some videos where one uses rolls and energy flying to get away something I dont get the hang off, most of the time I either get into a spinn or just rolls around and the enemy have no issues following me, turning seems to be a big no with fw 190 as all fighters I try to turnfight with mostly gets behind me... When I dive and try to use speed to get away the enemy easily follows me and I dont manage to get away, rather becomes a easy target practice.

 

I fly with a Hotas joystick and thrust control, and keyboard and mouse, mostly use the thumbstick on the joystick to look around but noticed its hard to keep the enemy target in sight as its slow compared to using the mouse but then I will have to use my left hand to fly and my right hand to look around, using my left hand will most likely end up killing me xD

So any other good FW 190 pilots here who flies with mouse/keyboard and joystick who could let me fly together with and practice evasive maneuvers and attacking maneuvers and maybe have fun as well when playing?

I have steam, skype, FB etc so can give info how to find me and add me if someone wants to help?

Actually I fly using the mouse for looking arround. However you need rudder pedals. You cannot fly to the limit 190 without rudder. You can fly the yaks and the spits but not the german planes. 

I understand that you are at the very beginning. Unfortunately there are no short cuts. There are guys with years of online experience. Actually inexperienced pilots are the exception not the rule. 

However there is something important about FW 190. This is a plane that is flown as a team, not alone. I can help you with advice but you need to be more specific.

Hey Judge!
Focke Wulf is really a engineering masterpiece!

In a FW 190, speed is life!

First, stay as high as possible and always above your enemies. If you can't identify the aircraft, so, stay away from him, get some altitude and come back.

Try to fly bh enemy lines, high, dive and (doing Boom 'n Zoom) never turn against Red's.

If possible, fly into a squadron, FW is deadly by itself, but in a team it's devastating!

Against fighters and attackers (like IL2) , isn't needed additional guns (avoid use it 'cause it will have a additional mass and the maneuverability will be harmed) but in a squad it could be nice!

Here is my channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcGBJbVRmbZZylrb8EvkhTg). I mostly fly FW 190 (I still learning through) and I'm having some success with it.
