DCS FW109 vs DCS P51D

[lesnyborsuk]

Hi,

 

I couldn't find any thread like this in the forum, so I'm starting new one.

I really LOVE DCS P51, but since there is FW109D9 upcoming I wonder if I want to spend 50$ on it or is it better to wait for some discount and buy it eventually.

 

So it depends how much would be FW109 different from P51. I did some quick research and found this comparison:

http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/aviation/bf-109-vs-spitfire-vs-fw-190-vs-p-51-a-13369.html

which seems to show that performance of FW109 and P51 is very close.

 

Do you know if there would be some major differences that would be fun to learn and master such as different engine management, avionics, new systems, much different flight model etc. that are worth to spend extra bucks on it?

(to be clear: 50$ and 15$ makes big difference to me)

 

Thanks for your thoughts! :pilotfly:

While performance may be somewhat close, getting there should be a different experience. The engine management and weapons management should be different. The strengths and weaknesses should be different... I think the 190 should be a different experience for sure...

 

I am probably the wrong person to ask if I think its worth it to spend 50 bucks on as I am somewhat personally vested in the 190... that said... yes I am sure it will be worth it ;)

I say, if you're not sure AND on a budget. Wait on it.

Have fun getting to know the mustang, reading up on tactics, and practice...

Then when 50$ accumulates, you'll be good to go.

 

When the dora comes out, there'll be months and months of fun to be had just practicing dogfights, with AFM, complex engine management and human opponents.
