Fw-190 in game is crap. About the only thing that feels right is the roll rate. I would probably still take the 109 just on looks and personal preference, but if they ever fixed the 190, I'd fly that a lot more often.
When the 190 came on line, the Spitfires were stymied for some time (and the Spits were the best the Brits had). The Spit Mk V was outmatched in every aspect but being able to turn more tightly - and as the British pilot said, "Turns don't win battles." So, that should give you some indication of the 190's dogfighting characteristics.
