Rolling in a FW 190

[Avimimus]

It is useful to remember that the point of the sizzors in the FW-190 isn't to loose speed. Instead it is to gradually increase the aspect angle with each successive turn.

I found this observation in a book that had a chapter on FW-190 tactics and tried it out online. I was untouchable for a little while (This was back in the days when they said the FW-190 was hopelessly undermodelled and the Bf-109 was the only competitive axis aircraft online).
