suggested tactics yak3 vs fw190

[dimlee]

There are certainly different styles of flying the same aircraft. I knew people who were excellent in low (but not slow) flying FW190 and I had hard time with some of them in my P38 (my another favorite).
But I have never felt comfortable flying FW190 myself below 1500 m (unless on bombing mission in 190F) and avoided encounters which could be called "dogfight" unless not given other choice. Run high and fast, smart engine management, if I miss - climb or separate at safe distance, look around, consider another attack or escape, etc.
Probably because - from the opposite side - I saw many 190 drivers who tried to go scissors or else at low alt only to burn their E and to end in gunsights of my Fork Tail Devil...
Last but not the least... one's low speed and low alt is so attractive for any ally of your adversary who just happened to be there. Or several allies.
