I did a lot of testing in the A-4 and A-4 1.65 ATA (due to bug in the A-4 throttle max of 88%) yesterday and the changes are big!
First of all it does not feel so stiff in the control. In the 4.10.1 all the Fw190 feel very stiff in their controls. The don't bleed energy like they use to. Now you have a chance against a Spitfire Vb in a A-4. In QMB a veteran Spitfire Mk. Vb (1942) I am consistenatly able to hold my own; I would say that survival are 70/30 to the 190A-4. This is new for me. The Spitfire IXc (1942) are a real challenge and survival feels like 40/60. In the 4.10.1 you had to dispatch the Spit IXc in within the first pass in a 1vs1. The Spit Vb still turn better but at a price. Engine overheat. Landing in the Fw190A have become a challenge. It seems to be without drag and will not drop speed even with gear and flaps fully out. BTW: EAF is an allied Sqd so this change is not welcome seen from an egotistic point of view . I must be a traitor since I love it

Thanks Robo
For not letting me look like a fool for reporting a feature as a bug

I have always spent the majority of my IL2 time flying for the Luftwaffe or the US Navy. With the previous, my aircraft of choice was the 109G-6A/S. This is the pinnacle of 109 development IMHO, as she still has some of the maneuverability of her predecessors, and the gun package of her successors. This was the case, until 4.11 that is!!! I took the up rated 190A-4 out for a spin, and fell in love. I had always read pilot accounts of the 190 and the previous FM just didn't jive with what was stated. Maneuverability and Fw190 go hand in hand in those accounts, but didn't in IL2. The 190 is now a real fighter. You still don't want to hang her on a wing at low alt with no speed, just like any other fighter. But with some E, she will turn like nobodys business. Your first few circles in an angles fight will surprise you, she doesn't buffet at the slightest elevator movement. The flight is smooth and you can really get maximum performance out of her. I am about to start a new career as a 190 pilot, and my namesake will be proud with the multitude of aircraft I destroy in it!!!
