Urhin what you are describing is a fight vs a 190 whose pilot simply does not know how to fly a 190D to its advantages. Admittedly most players in AH don't and make the mistake to handle it like a turn fighter. Something the Dora simply isn't and flying it that way will only get you shot down. If a 190D try to keep up with a F4U maneuvering it's doomed, so it's very simple. Stay fast and work the angles while retaining as much E as you can. This technique can be used in any type of aircraft by the way and is superior to turn fighting, but few ever bother to try and learn it because somehow furballing is considered the finer point of the art by many.
You will never be able to make up for bad tactical decisions through maneuvering unless you fly the more maneuverable aircraft in a fight, get lucky or is up against a bad stick. This is why the good 190 sticks become good tacticians, because they have to. While the furballers call them names out of frustration because of their inability to get to them.
Tactics and maneuvering should not be confused. They are related but not the same. A maneuver is the result of a tactical decision whether you are aware of it or not. Tactics involve time, angles, position and speed while maneuvering is what is required to change these factors. I'd argue that when furballers lock on to a target to pursue it they are not thinking tactically, because they disregard everything else. I'm not saying every furballer do this, but it's a common mistake which I too have made hundreds of times literally.
Anyway, just wanted to chip in because I don't think it's fair to the 190D (or any type for that matter) to describe its best performance based on a mediocre or bad stick.
One of the best overall fighters in the game is without doubt the Spit XVI, it can E fight, turn fight and everything in between. But we rarely if ever see it flown to its true advantages simply because those who fly the spit16 are usually in love with only one aspect of it.
