Gamington 29 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 The D9, it does everything I wish the other fw190s did. Im still kinda a newer pilot and all but after flying it like 4 times today I already love it better than the other variants. Especially loving the gyro sight Ive been learning to use them lately. Looking forward for the p51 also. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
MarderIV 105 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Same here. Crossing my fingers PWCG gets it soon; I really want to play it beyond QMBs so I could intercept bomber formations with the 24 R4M Orkans. Those rockets are so satisfying once they connect with a bomber... Or U-2VS . 😂 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Finkeren 6032 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 The D9 is EZ-mode 😉 I almost feel bad flying it. Just to be clear, I'm not saying it's inaccurate. It's pretty much what I'd expect from it, it's just really, really good. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Gamington 29 Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 I like it better just because its more manueverable honestly. But not as light feeling as the k4. I pit the k4 and a8 against eachother alot to see which axis plane I want and they both have had there pros and cons ove flown this thing like 4 times. And its like a hybrid of boths best traits. Allied side i keep playing with the p47 and spitfire and have a simular thing going. Link to post Share on other sites

Jade_Monkey 3788 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Makes the A8 look like a piece of junk. I know they had separate roles but the difference is abysmal. What is the best altitude for this bird? Mid-low? Or was it also designed for high alt? I'm not very familiar with the D9. Link to post Share on other sites

I definitely think it has weaknesses that can be exploited. The very sudden stall and slow throttle response make it weak if it suddenly has to defend itself from a higher energy state foe. In an isolated dogfight where you know what you're facing it can use its speed very well, yes, but on the battlefield will be a different story That said, weaknesses make planes interesting and fun to fly, its not a complaint Edited March 20, 2019 by =621=Samikatz 1 Link to post Share on other sites

E4GLEyE 79 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 dont want to start a new thread so gonna just echo along! The Dora is AMAZING. Tho the cockpit looks a bit weird with the cheap plywood panel and missing ammo counters the whole thing feels so damn good to fly! also its graphical fidelity is outstanding... Might be even setting a new standard? So Happy right now 😄 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

BornToBattle 282 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Agreed. What a change from the US planes where I feel I’m a part time baby sitter for all the engine functions, cooling, etc. Dora is a blast, and I thought the K-4 was the end all. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

They start turning to get kills and then get wrecked by some maniac in a Spit V or I-16. /when I'm lucky, I get to be the guy in the I-16. My K/D ratio is crap but I have a good time. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Whish we also would get a taste of the TA-152 H0/H1 which was something of a very late successor for high altitude duty. https://airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/focke-wulf-ta-152-h-0r11 Edited March 23, 2019 by sevenless 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Bremspropeller 2320 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) The H-0 didn't have MW-50 and would probably be eaten alive on most servers. The H-1 did have it, but it seems they had problems with the Jumo's third supercharger stage up high. I wouldn't expect it to be an acemaker against 150 octane allied birds at low to medium altitudes (where most of it's service life was spent) and the Griffon Spits - should one ever come - were relatively competitive at higher altitudes. The Dora will be slightly better than the P-51D up to 15000ft, will be equal to it up to 20000ft and the Mustang will be better above 20000ft (markedly so above 25000ft). The Dora will not be the server winning-überplane anymore once the other late-war allied fighters arrive. Edited March 23, 2019 by Bremspropeller Link to post Share on other sites

Legioneod 2022 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Dora feels nice, really easy to fly. It also seems to be the most detailed of any Il2 aircraft so far imo, the textures and mapping is very well done. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I lived under impression that one of the rocket loadouts on A8 is actually an R4M in antitank version. Edited March 25, 2019 by CrazyDuck 1 Link to post Share on other sites
