Oleg's fw 190 lost theyr energy too quickly......and engine is 90% of cause

i tried an fw 190A4 with modified file bottons with correct engine parameters and it fly very similar than the new A3 about speed, climb rate, turn rate and acceleration

Agree.

about dive speed i think that the problem is the DM....or not?

I think so.

Oleg's A5 is fast....ok...but u can only go straight and not turn. penalty?: u lost more speed than other planes.....or they are all overmodelled (not only spits) or only Fw's need moore power

Loosing of speed in turns is very difficult question of many aspects. Wing loading, polar line of plane and power/weight ratio (+ prop. efficiency). Is difficult to clear it up..but is absolutely correct, that Fw 190 looses speed in turns much more, than most other planes. Simply: It wasn't turn fighter. Look for example at well known american test between Fw 190 A-5 and F4U + F6F LINK - section maneuverability (it seems not like maneuverability, maybe better is "turn ability").

Hi Fucida!
I hope you had a good birthday

Hi Waggel!
Yes, new A-3 is in many aspects good job. Geburtstag war SEHR gut

The "old" A-4 was not so bad like most virt. pilots say. Spit Vb and 4© are no problem when you have an altitude advantage because the acceleration was unsatisfactorily. Even when you had the energy, the A-4 bleeded even in gentle turns.
The A-3 now has a "toxic" acceleration caused by the new historical horsepower. The agility and the handling is a little bit better. Reduced bleedig effect in getle high speed turns. The limitation now is caused by the dark grey glow of the pilot. You have to be carefully sometimes. We had to go into this direction because the spitfires are overmodeled in their agility. The rollrate of the spits is too high for example.

New A-3 should be in most aspects like lighter A-5 I think. I think that E-bleeding of old A-5 is quite historical, it seems quite correct. It shloud bleed energy faster than other planes..maybe except class "Thunderbolt". On the other hand I'm hardly not able to recognize differences between FM of new A-3 and old A-5 (and I'm glad..) . But I must absolutely dissaprove with idea compensate overmodelled Spits with overmodelling 190s. That's way to hell . But It's maybe just my opinion..

When you take a look at the radiators (Kiemenspaltbleche), you can move them in the A-3 because the open radiators whould brake the energy too much. The holes are in the lee of the cowling. So this bleedig is a no go. We had to make a compromise. You later will see that the A-1 and the A-2 haveno cotrolled flaps

Uh.. I don't understand it's openable, but with now effect for drag? Why isn't fixed open without (or with low) penalty? I don't understand this
