Salute

All the 190's have an excellent INITIAL turn, that is, they turn as well as almost any aircraft when their initial speed is between 400-550 kph, and they do not hold the turn more than 180 degrees. After 180 degrees, the aircraft bleed speed very quickly, lose effective turnrate, and approach stall.

This is a little better in the higher powered models, in particular the 190D9 and TA-152, especially the TA-152H which has a larger wing area. The way Oleg has modelled flight, high power can overcome speed bleed for a longer period of time.

In any case, as someone else has already mentioned, the way to fly the 190 is with 'one pass' attacks, ie. make your attack, don't follow the target more than 90-180 degrees through an evasion, and then continue on, maintaining speed. Ideally you should do this as part of a team, so the attacks can be alternated, and tactics such as 'drag and bag', and 'baiting' can be performed.

The 190's, especially the 190A6-A9 have easily enough firepower to kill in one pass, with a single one or two second burst. In fact, the D9 can also kill pretty much instantly.

The D9 1944 is probably the overall best aircraft available in the game, especially at medium and low altitudes where most of the action on the dogfight servers happen.
