A5 turns better then the A8.
A8 also has slightly better guns.
Both are outstanding planes once you learn them
Either can dog fight (turnfight) to some extent and for a limited time.
Thing is getting a firing solution as rapidly as possible. the longer the fight goes on the more the odds are not in your favor particularly with the regular turn Burners.
the trick is in knowing when and having he self dicipline to get out of dodge. And extend or head for home
