Usage in battles
the Avia S-199 is a downgraded BF-109G but with a weaker engine
the aircraft flight perfomance is not the greatest at all so make sure you follow these tactics
rule no.1: despite weak engine power on the aircraft it's recommended to gain some speed first followed by a shallow gradual climb
rule no.2: never attempt to turn fight with other turn fighters since they can get on your 6 if committed
rule no.3 : if failed or successfully killed an enemy do a shallow climb once again after dive and repeat
the Avia S-199 as we know that it lacks and engine power which mean that you can bleed it's speed very easily either any tactic you prefer
the main strength of the avia S-199 is the firepower of her
try to not get in front of it's guns

in summary here is the pros and cons of the aircraft
- Pros:
- great firepower
- good survivability
- good turn rate ( at high speed only)
- Cons:
- slow climb rate
- engine easily overheat
- poor energy retention
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main
