I presume your familiar with the SpitV and Spit IX tests vs the FW. The acceleration part is most illuminating, i can post if you've never seen it.
I do find it frustrating myself where people focus on red or blue, i want them all to be accurate, even if it does mean such as in 1942 the 190 was leap years ahead of the spit. I want to Simulate the Rl experiences, good or bad, the ebb and flow of development. Not just to fly around in the best plane all the time.

Indeed. The acceleration and climb rate difference is remarkable. Having seen the Flugwerk 190 climb @ Duxford with my own eyes, well, that was stunning!
I don't think you got too many whiners on FW though because, frankly, if you follow some simple rules the 190 is a doddle. I flew it in 1946 a lot and found it 'unchallenging'
