The 1944 A-8 is only good against bombers really. The extra armour is too much against fighters. The A-9 is a slight improvement but will still struggle if there are lots of P-51s around.

There is no extra armor on an FW-190A8 fighter variant on the real thing. It has the same armor as the FW-190A3.
In fact, it has better performance including sustained turn than any other FW-190A variant except of course, the FW-190A9. If you do the math it is obvious.
