I'm pretty sure the 190 could out-turn the Mustang, but the Mustang could perform some nasty maneuvers of its own. I also wonder if perhaps the scorecard was taking altitude into consideration? A lot of those battles occurred at high altitude in and around the bomb groups, and the 190A suffered that high up (big reason for the 190D and later the Ta 152).

Or maybe they were talking about the uparmored Rammjagers?

I don't know how 'real' this stuff is, but anyway

P-51C vs FW-190?

Was watching Dogfights on Nat Geo (yes im enjoying the channel at the moment) and it had the tuskugee airmen episode on.

It did a comparison between the P-51C and the FW-190 (Look like possibly an A-8)

Speed and manoeuvrability went to the mustang. Durability and Firepower went to the 190.

I always thought the 190 was more manoeuvrable?
