The 190A5 bears a closer resemblance to the performance of the earlier G series 190's, IMO.  Outside of wing drop tanks, ordnance capacity is almost identical.  Plus, the in-game F model and its PB-1 rockets were not introduced until later--mid-to-late 1944 if I understand correctly.  So, short answer is no.  The A5 will stay versus the F8, unless someone can provide a more convincing argument.  Thanks for the question though.

The F8 could be restricted to only use the 4x50kg bombs on the wings to simulate the abilities of the G.  The 190G was a long range version of the 190F; the F has better range than the A5, which has extremely short range and can't carry both ordinance and a drop tank.

Second part of the argument:  the 190A-5 will be used as an air-superiority fighter if it's available, the 190F-8 would be used for what the 190G was used for.

Sorry, we're going to leave the A5s as they are.

You don't have to say "sorry." :lol  Just make the most accurate choice for the event and I'll be happy.
