In the game, I think the 109s outperform the 190s all around. If the 190 flight models were a bit better, I think they would do as well or better than the 109s most of the time.
Seems like the consensus on the 109 vs 190 is a mixed bag. Depending on which pilot you ask, you'd get a different opinion. Seems like the 109 was a more complex machine, due to being older technology, but overall more forgiving of a inexperienced pilot, while still being a deadly tool for the expert. The 190 on the other hand, was newer and simpler, but it had some dark corners where an inattentive/novice pilot could get in a bad spot.
Interesting reads, though.
