The Fw 190 provided greater firepower than the Bf 109 and, at low to medium altitude, superior manoeuvrability, in the opinion of German pilots who flew both fighters. A Yak or LaLa at low altitude might be better but get the Bf109 to 6 km, where the DB605 engine puts down its peak performance there is nothing that can touch you. The D-9 did 426, 440 on boost. How should I be playing the 109s? P-38 vs P-47 a6m-zero. You can dogfight in it but you really need to know how to abuse its roll rate, throttle control and flaps.

In one of my emails, I asked about how the P-40F and L (which he also flew) compared to both the Me-109 and Fw-190, which also flew in North Africa but to a lesser degree (more often as a fighter-bomber).

In terms of which one is better stock, the Fw-190 has the advantage. More research needed.

If I were to speculate on what would have happened had the two later Navy aircraft been deployed in numbers in Europe I suspect a similar situation as that which developed with the P-47 and P-51 would have developed, the Hellcat is slower than the Corsair (and very much slower than either a Thunderbolt or a Mustang) but is a very forgiving aircraft and also insanely rugged (a proportionately much greater number of F6Fs survived being hit by flak for example than did F4Us) and thus it would seem likely that the Hellcat would be employed more as a fighter bomber rather than a straight air-to-air fighter. At higher altitudes it was faster and could out-turn both the Focke-Wulf 190 and the Messerschmitt 109. The formidable Fw 190 held all the advantages in this contest, and there was really no way out of the dilemma for the Wildcat. The Focke-Wulf 190 was the work of a team of German designers headed by the famous Kurt Tank. There are caveats however – the afore-mentioned Eric Brown said he would prefer the Hellcat in a dogfight, however during the second world war pilots in every nation (except maybe Japan) were desperately trying to avoid dogfighting wherever possible and use dive and zoom climb tactics. u/GAR_66.

The Bf109 has no really weakness to exploit and I find energy fighting to be the most rewarding why of flying, certainly higher risk than the BnZ but stalling out planes in a turn or a hammer head and dispatching them as they tumble, sublime.
