alot of people have been ignoring the fact that the fw-190 series of planes were some of the most manouverable planes of the war. me and my friends find the way they turn is absolutely disgusting. it would be nice to be able to actually out turn the p-51 like its supposed to. cockpits would be nice too s

I agree about the bad flying FW190... but comparing it to the P-51 as if that one is better .
At least the FW190 has some speed and stability. But yeah, like ive said in 20 posts, the boom and zoom planes have to be fix (P-51 is getting fixed, hope FW190 is next)

This one if iffy. Sometimes 190's would out turn P-51s during the war, but a lot of the time, Allied Mustang pilots stated that they outturned 190's without a problem. Some RAF tests conducted here: http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.o...90/eb-104.html state that "The outstanding maneuverability feature of this airplane is it extremely high rate of roll. The radius of turn, however, is poor and it is only slightly improved by using the maneuvering flap position of 15 degrees. If pulled fast, the airplane tends to stall out abruptly with little warning. Elevator control forces are very heavy in a tight turn, requiring constant use of the elevator trim control."

Again here: http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.o...-tactical.html States: "Again there is not much to choose. The Mustang is slightly better. When evading an enemy aircraft with a steep turn, a pilot will always out-turn the attacking aircraft initially because of the difference in speeds. It is therefore still a worthwhile maneuver with the Mustang III when attacked."

So really, it's hard to completely know if one out turns the other. I'm sure Axis reports state something about the matter, likely in favour of the 190, but there's nor definite proof one out turns the other.

What most mean when talking about the190's maneuverability from what I've read is its extremely good roll rate, response and "handling", a broad term in itself. Usually, it is out turned in a horizontal, maximum AoA, edge of the stall turn.
