I find that the BnZ fighters can actually turn extremely well, but only for 1 or 2 turns. Their corner speed is much higher than a spit or zero. Instead of being a disadvantage I find this an advantage. If you don't kill the enemy within a turn or so you will have the speed to run away or go to yo-yos and Immelmans.
IMO the 190A5 is one of the finest fighters in AH, certainly capable of engaging any other fighter in the game with a good chance of success. I fly the p51 mostly and IMO the a5 is the plane I fear the most. When comparing the p51 to the 190a5 I'd say the a5 has an advantage in roll, hitting power, acceleration, durability, climb, and at times turn. The p51 has the advantage in gun balistics, duration of ammo load, visiblity, range, ceiling (not really a factor here), and top speed. I find that the a5 is extremly agile due to its tremendous rate of roll, and can perform vertical manuvers at a lower airspeed than the p51. Not only that but because of its superior acceleration it can stay in the fight with a spit longer than the p51. IMO its only serious drawback is the ballistics of its cannon. They drop extremely quickly compared to the 50s, making snapshots much more difficult. Mainly for this reason I still prefer the p51. (I personally prefer the .50s to cannon in a BnZ fight.)
