LW planes are quite good. I've flown them a lot for scenarios, and they definitely can hold their own or more than hold their own matched up against their historical competition. For example, in a scenario setting, I think that the FW 190A-5 is better than the Spit V. FW 190D-9's and Bf 109K-4's are excellent, with their toughest scenario competition (in my opinion) being Spit 14's and Tempests. Bf 109F's and G's are quite good. Bf 109E's are much less capable, but the competition is the Spit I and Hurri I, against which they are decent.
