Above 25k D11 is 20-30 mph faster than the 190A5 and climbs as well (no paddle blade prop on D11) - and that is with a full fuel load that affects the P47 more than the 190.
The comparison to 190A8 at these altitutes is just funny....

Jugs rule the upper atmosphere and the LW will taste the true power of 8 fifties attached to a supercharger. Who's the fat plane now, eh?  :D

It's a Razorback or bust for me!

The A5 vs 11 is fantastic fight even if it devolves to a low level scrum. Two well matched airframes.

The options were:

16 FW 190A-5's

or

4 FW 190A-8's
12 FW 190A-5's.

I've put in option B into the rules already, as having some A-8's is what axis folks have been arguing for and no axis folks have said they don't want that.

I got a copy of The Luftwaffe Data Book, by Price.

It lists all the aircraft in the Luftwaffe every year.  The closest to the period of Big Week was May, 1944; and for the Reich region (the region we are dealing with in Big Week), the proportion of 190's to 109's was 23% 190's, 77% 109's.  The setup currently has 27% 190's, 73% 109's -- so a decent correspondence.

Looking forward to flying with you for a change. Pencil me in to lead III/Jg 54.

Devil, was III/JG 54 in 190's or 109's during Big Week?  Some of the things I'm looking at indicate 190's, but I'm not sure.

JG 26 wasn't there, so I'll be renaming the group that is currently named JG 26 (could be II/JG 1 or III/JG 11 perhaps).
