Not that the Fw190 can't be a very effective fighter, but it bleeds energy very rapidly when forced into defensive manoeuvres, and lacks the energy building potential and low-medium speed manoeuvrability that some of the other top range fighters like the Spitfire IX 25lbs, LA7 or Bf109K4 have.
For me, you are totally wrong mate. FW-190A-8 can be a good fighter at low level in the hand of a good pilot. The key lies in the rolling skill of pilot.
