Yep, just got it and started playing it. Piece of crap. If you don't have the upgrades you can barely keep up with a Beaufort bot and the engine is overheating permanently. At 6k you should be able to reach something like 650 km/h but you will not be able to get far over 500 without any upgrades. Upgrades will give you something like 550 km/h according to the data sheet. I don't know what they are smoking while programming the game.

"Oh lez see, a powerful german aircraft. Lez take away 100 km/h max zpeed to make it lez powerful"  ::)

I can boom pretty well with 4 20 mm cannons, the zooming leaves much to be desired. At least I am not abusing the Russian UFOs. Seriously, the YaK 9T is so imba that the soviets wouldn't need Jet planes IRL if they had this plane. I just hope the FW engine is fixed along with the BF 109 engine. Seriously WTF Gaijin, fix my planes.

I think the problem with the FW190 is that its turning and climbing is way to low. I know the ME109 was a better climber and turner, but heck the FW190 deserves better then this.

Right now your best advice is to ignore the FW-190 and just go down the BF 109 tree. Everything the FW can do, the BF can do better: Climbing, burst mass (3x30mm), speed, maneuverability. Even the multiplier is higher on the later BFs.

Right now you should only buy any FW if you have some serious fetish about that aircraft or are masochistic.

I don´t know whether it´s possible to fully skip the FWs though. I don´t know how many Tier 3/4 aircraft are required to continue researching the 109 G10 and K. Luckily, I already have those.

I planned on using my Focke Wulf until glory, but it seems I will have to go back to the Murican techtree, grind my way towards the P51 and then the Shooting Star.

Looks like they introduced heavier tanks into the beta:

I marked the Me109 G6 for research but I've flown a number of missions today and the research didn't move an inch, why isn't it researching, am I doing something wrong?
He was not wrong. Amateurs talk tactics, pros talk logistics.

Welcome to patch 1.37 grind, :D. Some nerd did the math, and seems they have reduced exp gain 5 times or something (might be wrong though but it sure feels close). Fork out yer euros, scrub! (or maybe you don't fly the right planes for optimal research)

Yeah.. 1 gold = 40 xp or something, so they made also the converting a lot more expensive. It's just too grindy to play now either way to be exciting.

Yup.
