About
The Fw 190 A-5 was a tough German fighter from WWII, designed by Kurt Tank. It first appeared in 1942, boasting a forward-mounted engine for better balance and more payload. It was a true multi-role aircraft, serving as a fighter, bomber, and ground-attack plane, favored by pilots for its strong performance at low to medium altitudes
Playstyle
This plane is a climber and diver, excellent for vertical combat. Don't try to out-turn enemies; its turning is poor. Instead, use its amazing roll rate and powerful guns (especially the 20 mm cannons) to make quick, devastating passes and shred targets. Be mindful that controls stiffen at high speeds.
