Typhoon vs. FW-190 performance

[toonces3]

Interesting discussion guys.

I can't recall from my reading the REASON for the development of the Typhoon- I'll have to re-read and see what I can find.  Same with the Spit 12.

I was sort of thinking of all of this in terms of AH2- sorta forgot that these planes are all based upon the real deal.  This wasn't just a game for some.

On the deck, I still think the 190 would have the edge over the Typhoon 1v1.  If the 190 can roll twice he can get the Typhoon out of phase and either engage or disengage; although a flat out foot race might be tough for the 190 if he has a way to go.

Against a spit, the 190 shouldn't stand a chance provided the Spit can catch the 190.

Interesting stuff.

[edit] Am I still right in assuming that neither the Tiffy or Mossie carry the correct 60lbs rocket, but have a generic rocket instead?

In game, assuming equal pilots of at least below average skill, no model 190 has a chance 1v1 against a Tiffie no matter the starting situation (advantage, disadvantage, co-E)... to say nothing of a Spitfire.
