I flew the Jug for years now with the mods I am rarely out of my F-86 so I am not sure how well the old Fat girl performes against some of the newer versions released of the 190. But one thing I would bet on if your going to fly the jug you must be patient, use boom and zoom tactics and never loiter at low altitudes. You must always be wary of your energy so anytime your not striking ground targets you should be above everything else. Long wide sweeping turns, dive down one pass extend back to the vertical if I was being persued I would always use my E to drag the enemy and bleed his. Don't set up for dead six shots set your dive to intercept high at an angle and aim for the wing root one good burst from those 8, 50's into a 190's wing root will send him to the ground quickly.
The Jug is a wonderfull plane, best ground strike aircraft in IL2, it is also an awesome fighter if used correctly, over the many years I have been flying this game the best Jug pilots I have ever seen were the most patient they picked there fights wisely and were seldom ever caught low with no energy.
The Jug is a plane you must have an affection for, it will take time to master the big ole fat girl but it will be time well spent once you find your way. An old freind of mine always said real men have Jugs!! Best of luck to you~S
