OK. I had not read this reply before I posted last.
Absolutely you can down a Focke-Wulf of any make with an A6M. As you say, "hey, this is in real life"
To argue otherwise is flatly wrong. There is nothing inherently superior that makes a FW 190-D9 invulnerable to an A6M. You are talking as if this were Fantasyland. The FW 190-D9 was not invincible, this is not a trading card game in which one card defeats another, and neither was historical air combat. You must b joking with this statement. Or do you perhaps disagree with von Richtofen's idea of "it's the man, not the machine"?
Germans made fine aircraft but to make a blanket statement that disallows any other nation to have made fine aircraft as well is a false reality that blindly ignores anything but one's own personal opinion and jingoistic bias
In addition to many fine and advanced aircraft, the Germans also made a lot of planes that were simply
bad or were not thought out completely, or just plain of poor construction, unless you consider planes shedding bits in flight to be an acceptable standard. In addition, in the first world war, the Germans made some planes that were so un-suitable they looked to another country for combat planes in many cases...just like the Americans did!
Americans
were in fact afraid of German planes. Why should they not be? Only an idiot would not be afraid of guns pointing at them. Germans were afraid of American planes as well, and this is documentably true as evidenced by oral and written histories recorded of and by Luftwaffe pilots.
You are boldly wrong, plainly incorrect, and arrogantly ignorant.
You have not come here to talk about the simulation my friend. You have come here to

Merry Christmas and have a nice day, Storm Maker. Or should I say Pot Stirrer!
