Flying the FW190

Caligula's CAM demonstrates use of the FW190.

The first cut is an attack against an A Fw that starts on Cal's 6 with superior energy. The Alander dies horribly, figure out why.

The second cut is an example of a positioning attack against a single furballing Aland spitfire. Note what Cal does to ensure he arrives at the "correct moment" and the incredibly stupid thing the spit did.

The third cut was the beginning of a high furball CAP against an Az P51. Unfortuantely Cal cuts the film off after it looked to turn into a stern chase (you can watch him cut off wep and start to pull up) but the bandit reversed, and Cal forgot to turn the camera back on. The film resumes right after Cal blows him away, realize that he is in serious stew with high az all around him, and makes a most difficult Fw escape. Watch what he does to escape and shake off his many pursuers.

This is classic Fw keeling. Two opponents with superior E and one unsuspecting furballer, as well as forcing one auger and wounding a spit (who also attacked from high alt and E when Cal was out of WEP) who was later killed by a buddy.
