That does sound about right for the Bf109F, but the Bf109E was more heavily armed, and rolled faster than the Spitfire, so in that context, was the energy fighter of those two.

We can say that FW190 was built for speed, so been faster than his opponents in '42 makes it a energy fighter.

About the weapons: 190 was designed with a couple of light MGs plus 2 heavy MG. No cannons.

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
