There must be a reason why the germans stil fly the 109.
Otherwise they turned completely to Fw 190 when they saw the great success against spits in the first encounters, but they dont
The 109 had better performance at higher altitudes than the FW-190. The Germans could not get the altitude performance out of the BMW radial engine. A significant disatvantage considering the altitude of the Allied bomber stream. It was not until the introduces the inline engine into the FW-190D did this get amended.
