FW 190 A-5 vs P-51's

[Ragnarok]

Alright so, Im in a FW, the first 4.7 one. I fail my pass because im dodging bullets. Well, Im trying to get away so I go into a dive. Hes faster than me, and can turn.

What am I supposed to do against a turn fighter thats faster than me?

Aren't P-51s boom and zoomers?

Burst into tears, produce photographs of your family and start pleading "for God's sake I have children, please don't make orphans of them...."

IDk. I think the D-30 5.0.

But honestly, im beginning to feel like hte FW Is just not worth using in Air battles. Horrible climb, horrible turn.

P-51s are not turnfighters.

Also, the Fw 190 excelled when there is an opponent with higher energy on it’s tail.
Yes, I said excels.

P-51 can beat any 190 in a turn and can give 109s a tough time too depending on the model. You should use your higher roll-rate make yourself a harder target to hit and hopefully force an overshoot. If they have a higher energy state you need to try to equalise it and use your better T/W to get away.

the manoeuvre you are looking for is called scissors or rolling-scissors, if done correctly the opponent literally cant get guns on target, even if you cant force an overshoot surviving against a single opponent on your tail for minutes on end until friendlies show up or you drag the fight over friendly aa is entirely doable
