How does la-5 fn fly against a4 and a5 fockes? More in terms of bnz flight characteristics. Turn fighting just tends to get you killed quite often ( less SA, and fairly low E state)

What about p39 for some russian bnz?

Below 3500m, Fw-190 is no match for a La-5FN. Cant climb, cant turn and cant run, a very easy target. Above 3500m, the Fw begins to get faster than the La-5, but accelerates slowly and its climb performance is also poor, still a very easy prey. Online its different, with good teamwork, it is possible to beat the Lavochkins. But 1 vs 1, Fw-190 is still hopelessly inferior.

P-39 is not that good against the Fw, because its way too slow, maybe except at medium altitudes where the 190 switches supercharger gears. You have to force him to turn fight, but it is only possible against inexperienced opponents. Also, the Cobra is quite vulnerable, catches fire easily, not a good thing if you face the FW's cannons.

Yak-9U at low and P-51 at high altitudes.

The La-5FN and the La-7 are tough 1v1 opponents for any German plane, though I find the 5FN loses a lot above 2000m.

The 190 is not really a good 1v1 plane against any allied fighter, but it's probably the plane that benefits from a wing-man the most in this game. For example, 1v1 I'll take the La-7 anytime, but in a 2v2 scenario I'll go for the 190, even if it's an A-9, and definitely if it's an 190-D.

Agree with Tiny Tim: Yak 9U is great against German planes up to about 5000m, the P51 is great above that. The P63 can also do very well against late-war German fighters.
