Rgr that Karnak, the spit 5 here is better, but like you said, even the 14 couldn't catch the 190 A in the initial stages of a dive.
Neither 5 or the 9 (our 5 being more like the tested 9?) could keep up with it in level acceleration unless at high altitudes and in zoom climbs from level flight, and especially dives, the 190 was again superior.
