Unless this fight happens over 15k the LA5 is going to own this fight. The 190 can only HO, not a bad tactic in this matchup as the LA5 is way outgunned, but not a great fight.

Below 10k or so the LA5 can out-turn, out-climb and out-accelerate the 190A5 with ease.

109g2 w/o gondolas better matchup.  THAT's a good fight.

1K3, instead of continuing with X vs 190A5, you should simply find out which planes can be outturned and/or outclimbed/accelerated by 190A5.

I'll start this one: B24 ;)

Ik3, looks to me like you need to spend some time here. >>>

If you fly it agresively enough it can give some spit drivers nightmares. Of course alt & E help.

Don't get into sustained turnfights with it.
"Think like a shark" Don't try to swim with the fish, but make a high diving pass through the furball. Snapshoot at whatever
gets close in front, exit out the back side.

Either reclimb & reposition for another run or head for help if you've picked up a fast tail.

You biggest advantage is roll rate, use it agressively.

La-5FN hands down. At least against the Spit9, the Fw190A-5 can run away and end the fight if things go bad. Can't even run from the La-5FN.
