Hello sixth. Long time no video. What exactly was nerfed in A5? Haven't played fokkewulf for a long time

Hello sixth. Long time no video. What exactly was nerfed in A5? Haven't played fokkewulf for a long time

@@SIDEWIND3R_99 Flight model nerf( worse turn, easy to get into flat spin ), thermals nerf ( making it overheat in 1 minute and that makes it impossible to even run on 100% thrust with no WEP...) The plane is pretty done for in this state sadly but I will keep trying to make it work.

@@the6tharmyUse MEC !

@@georgesfnr MEC doesn't help it. The overheating is just that bad.

GG o7

A real shame, and it makes no sense either. While there are truly OP and broken planes being spammed and abused. The devs who all but abandoned props, as can be seen by the excessive spam of copy paste planes and ridiculous hydroplanes and Rank 1 garbage. They went out of their way and targeted 190's specifically on a grand scale and made them overheat to the point of uselessness. The best cooling system of WW2 is now among the worst, meanwhile He177, TIS-MA, I-225, I-185, ITP, Yak-3 vk-107, La-7 don't overheat despite be known for engine troubles and engine fires, catastrophic failures. Yet the fighter with least overheating issues, actually none, gets hit by this nerf. A-5 was the first 190 I really started learning 190's on. Many idiots, maining post war experimental super props but also the common Rank 3 undertiered OP plane abuser love the fact that the only Axis plane that could run them down in a dive is now nerfed. A-5 being rekt, means J2M, Ki-84, Yaks and Spitfires and La's can breath easily now.

A-1 is overheating now. Manageable though but still annoying. A-4 has huge overheating issues, you will suffer on hit maps or prolonged fights where you just need WEP all the time. All A-5 are borderline useless with flightmodel and severe overheating. A-8 and F-8 are untouched and currently have the best cooling and most responsive elevator at high speeds. Dora flightmodels are the same, just D-12's elevator is worse for no reason and the Doras including Ta H because it has the same engine as Doras, all overheat more now but they are manageable with MEC.

@@mafiagonzalez6215 damn that is actually a spot on summary. Yeah that is about all that changed in last year.

@@mafiagonzalez6215 if they touch my F-8, i'm gonna be sad.

@@n00b1eSS A-8 is completely untouched. F-8 though got a small nerf, not too bad but they made F-8 compress more than A-8 past 650km/h.

Welcome!

And you'd be right haha!

I trained my aim simply by using the same cannon for a long while. If you switch constantly it can be quite hard to adjust.

I appreciate it!

"almost" they surely don't, right?😆

"almost"? Of course they do

A-8 and F-8 and Doras are still good. Not great but good. A-1 is almost OP at 3.0 All A-4 + S-5's are garbage now due to overheating and flightmodel nerfs.

Flying the real plane. o7

agreed

A-1's overheating nerf is annoying, especially on the hot maps but still manageable. A-4 is literally the best "A-5" and also has lowest br. At 4.0 and gets 4 cannons. The overheating is still bad but not as unplayable as A-5's. The Antons that are not nerfed at all in terms of overheating are the F-8 and A-8. They literally have the best cooling out of all 190's atm. A-8 can even run 0 % rads on some maps. Doras have been nerfed too but they are manageable like A-1.

@@the6tharmy I never bother with MEC, A1 has enough performance for the overheating not to be that much of an issue imo. A4 yeah, not just best A5, but also best anton overall, if only u could take off the mg/ff's to reduce the weight. A5's and A/F8 are just boats, not worth flying compared to the 109's next to it...

@@the6tharmy good to know that the 8's still work

@@kyrilgarcia 8's are still strong, a squad of them wins the battle in a few minutes.

Good reminder, it will be the next upload then.

😊

A-1, A-4, A-5's and Doras overheat way more now. A-1 and Doras are managebale still but the rest are just boilers at this point almost unplayable. F-8 and A-8 cooling systems are untouched and pretty much the best of all Fw190s atm. A-5 also got a huge flight model nerf and cannot turn as well anymore, now P-51's outturn you which wasn't the case before. You stall super easily by doing a roll or snap roll for which the 190's are famous for but now just flatspin. A-5 is borderline unplayable, on hot maps you literally can't even fly more than 80% throttle or you kill your engine in 1 minute.

@@mafiagonzalez6215 Sounds like I was right to switch to allied planes and Germany's early jets. I mean, the FWs never turned well and since I am playing allied planes I basically always win. The Doras were the last straw for me because of BnZ. Oh well...

All A-5's got a flight model nerf. They turn worse, flat spin essier, and lose elevator authority completely under 300km/h. They used to be able to turn with P-51's and roll or snap-roll at any speeds but now they just fall outof the sky doing that. They also overheat like crazy. It was said the overheating will be fixed in next major update. Fingers crossed.

@@the6tharmy I don't really let the overheating issue affect my focus on the battle, I don't use manuel controls either i don't really see it as a problem until the Temp starts flashing red by then i just throttle down to 90%-95% to compensate, other then that idc about the 'overheating' nerf.

@@Redbaron1006-warthunder well you either didn't fly much A-5's or you are pretty useless in it running it at 90%, that is over 200HP loss. You are not climbing or catching or outrunning anything.

@@the6tharmy I keep my engine at 100% consistency, and I side-climb because of the average climbrate, also its a pretty good headon machine, but the main strength of it is in the reversals, also i try to gain and balance my energy states between altitude and airspeed, i try to get to 5000m and at about 400km/h of airspeed.

@@the6tharmy You can definitely outrun planes i do that by conserving my speed and energy, plus its hard to rip the 190 especially in a dive.

Christoph27, a OG 190 master from the golden age of WT used the song in one of his excellent reversal videos. The song has meaning xD due to that.

@@the6tharmy Alright I'll let it pass. I used to love Energy Drink but I listened to it WAY too much as a kid (thanks to RU-vid autoplay), so now it's ruined for me 😭
