Guys,

There are so many factors in this kind of fight, it's impossible to say to someone "do this and you'll kill him". I was there when you did this manuver. The first P47 you got hits on was {HVY-E}Nails. He's just getting familar with the P47 and hasn't mastered it yet. The second P47 that came after you was me. The one you couldn't shake, hit or evade. The only thing that saved you at all was all the stuttering/surging your plane continued to do everytime I got a firing solution on you.

Your tactics will work against most new pilots or pilots unfamilar with their plane. They most likely will not work against a seasoned pilot that knows the limits of his plane and, as was your misfortune, knows your plane's limitations.

As was stated earlier, an FW-190 will almost certainly hammer you. They can out dive you, and in certain instances out turn you. A GOOD 190 driver isn't going to turn with you. He's going to out roll you and cut you to ribbons. Roll rate beats turn rate EVERY TIME. I know, you're all scratching your heads now, but every good pilot knows what I'm talking about.

Simply put, instead of trying to turn with you, your enemy is going to watch you for a second, roll his plane to a 90deg offset of yours and pull his nose into your plane of travel and let loose a quick snap shot that, if successful, will at the very least, severely damage your plane.
