Well first, you gotta narrow it down.

The short nosed had A's, F's and G's.

Long nosed had the Dora line and of course the Ta's.


I'll assume you mean the Anton and Dora.

In a nutshell and by most German pilots the Dora was found to have a superior rate of climb, better acceleration in a dive, better crusing and max speeds and that IF a pilot gained enough experience with the Dora, it could indeed pull a tighter turn than the Anton (and even the Bf109). MOST pilots considered the D9 to be the best prop plane of the Luftwaffe.
