A squad mate of mine talked with an FW-190 veteran some time time ago. He flew several varaints of the FW-190. There are points where the performance of the 190 was cut in IL2. But if you want to make the 190 completly historical full realistic, you will not find any allied pilot who wants to fly against you.
For example the Focke Wulf had better turn by performance at low speed against a Mustang. The mustang also had a disatvantage caused by electrical rudder controls. With a FW-190 you could move the Stick "VOLLE KANNE" (very hard) with both hands. You could feel it, when the stick began to shake and to vibrate. A lot of mustang pilots thaught, they can outturn a FW190 and lost their life because the mustang went into a stall and crashed on the ground.
Today the man is over 80 years old and still has his fun with flying in gliders. mental he makes a very good impression (like a young man). He also was very interested to test IL2 sturmovik especially the 190. My squad mate hopes to see him again. Talking about old warbirds and make a test ride with IL2.
