I agree. I've done a 0 to 100 mph speed comparison between a clean, empty A8 with 10% fuel using 110% power with wep and an SBD-5 with 1600lb bomb, 100% fuel, cowl flaps and canopy open using 110% throttle and the times are almost identical (just over 17 seconds) even though the 190 has less than half the power loading. I'm figuring about 7700lbs/2050hp versus 10700lbs/1350hp. Even if those numbers aren't entirely accurate (very possible) it still shouldn't be a close race - lol. The only thing I can figure is the Kommandogerat of the 190 the Russians first tested wasn't adjusted properly (I've seen a movie of it, it looked a bit like a Frankenstein).
