S!

As Kwiatek stated, Spitfire should be able to outturn Fw190 with ease at slow speeds. But the Fw190 might have the advantage at higher speeds due it's far better rate of roll over Spitfire making the change of direction much faster.

Bf109 had excellent slow speed handling due the mild stall characteristics, helped by the slats. I think Spitfire and Bf109 were quite close in turning as a lot depends on the pilot. Hans-Joachim Marseille continuously outturned Spits, Hurricanes and P40's in North-Africa, but again he was an extraordinary pilot knowing his plane and a sharpshooter.

As of Bf109G vs La5FN. Finns fought them all, from LagG-3 to La-5FN flown by 4th GiAP KBF, led by Russian ace of the Finnish Gulf, Golybev. And all accounts verify Finns both outclimbed and outturned their adversaries in the Bf109G-2 and Bf109G-6. Interestingly Finns regarded Yak-9 far more dangerous opponent than Lada, calling it "Mörkö" (boogey). One reason was it's very good rate of roll and high speed.

Again..we are playing in a simulated game with a lot of things lacking: fatigue, fear, G forces etc..So kind of futile to whine/debate/whine some more about FM's in a game. Interesting discussion so far though.
