Because only a small handful of aircraft have even a chance of following the initial roll... you usually have a good chance to get away with superior dive and level speed.

What do you not want to do in a FW190 is make a series of hard turns (like you might in a Spitfire, Yak, or Zero) and bleed your energy as the FW190 looses energy in horizontal maneuvers much more quickly.

Flying a FW190 requires thinking in the vertical rather than in the horizontal.

Offensively you want to use moves like the "wing over" or the "lag pursuit" to follow a bandit through a defensive break turn. Oh and I should mention that such maneuvers are common to other similar aircraft. Each has their own trick but aircraft like the Tempest, P-51 Mustang, P-47 Thunderbolt, and F4U Corsair are all similar in technique to flying the FW190 versus their contemporary opposition.
What you have understood exactly what i wanted to say. I have found a split-s effective to escape from a bandit behind me.
Whilst I do not know the maneuver rolling scissor. You can tell me a site where you can learn the techniques to use with the fw-190A4?

Thanks
