If using the D-10 you are really limited to slashing attacks in this game, and much of the problems you have fighting the Fw190 i also have using that particular model and the '43 190s.
I think its backwards to a degree although the P-47D-10 is slower in acceleration it should easily overtake a Fw190 in speed. I find it difficult to outrun 190s despite this, but it helps to use a shallow climb. Oddly, that was the tactic needed for 190s to escape P-47Cs prior to the introduction of the paddle prop.
Not to rant or flame, but i think there is something off with the modeling there. It might have something to do with how the P-47 bleeds off speed after leveling out after an extended dive.
The key is to just keep your speed up and if i engage with a P-47D-10 i always try to have at least a 1000m advantage. I avoid fights with 190s altogether.
Aiming is difficult, and partly because the game uses point convergence. It might be better or more consistent with a box spread like on the P-40s. I often wondered if a cone could be simulated for each bead. Even a single ground mounted gun has a dispersion radius depending on the range, and at 300m i think its somewhere in the neighborhood of 1ft. I've learned to hit with it just takes a bit of practice.
