Through the research I have done, i have heard it both ways...some think the 109 handles better, and others think the 190 handles better.

I know the 190 had a superb roll rate, but does that translate into better turn?

Its such a shame the 190 is so horrid in the game, as I would love to be able to use it.
By far the 109 will turn better than the FW in real life. Also it's low speed handling is far better than the 190 with leading edge slats.

The 190s Roll rate is fantastic but it doesn't translate into a turn it does however translate into an "out of plane" manuever. This causes all kinds of problems for someone looking for a gun solution.

It's been quoted by many pilots but the 190 should be treated like a Saber... Making slashing attackes with positional advantage. The 109 is more like a Rapier with fine point control. It can get down and dirty in sustained turn fights with the best of them. I can also use it's upper end of speed to cause problems as well.
