Hello all,
I'm trying to learn to fight in the P-47, against the FW190, and I am not getting anywhere. Mostly I am flying the P-47 D10 against the earliest 1943 model of the FW on the list. (type5?)
My problems:
I keep losing sight of the enemy, and if I move around to get a visual, I'm losing too much energy.
I can't seem to catch the FW- when I chase him he always extends and comes back around at me freely.
I find it hard to aim the P-47. When I'm nose-up I keep falling off, when I'm diving I have some control problems. If he overshoots me I can never get a bead on him.
Now I know the Jug is supposed to be good at diving and at high altitude performance but I can't make it pay off.
OK I admit I'm obviously not a great pilot, but this plane seems to present me a lot of problems that others don't. I seem to do reasonably well in lots of other planes against the AI.
Enough of my grumbling- can anyone help me on this?
