No doubt, The FW-190 is better at energy fighting than a Tempest in this game.
A: The 190 will not lose its wing at 730 - 750 KPH in a dive. You hit those speeds in a Tempest you best be real, real careful pulling out. This is how Oleg decided to portray the lamellar wing design: exaggerate its weaknesses and eliminate its strengths.
B: The 190 is artificially faster than the Tempest in this game, and can hit higher speeds in a dive. The 190 can always escape, the Tempest never can.
Of course, there is not much reason to run from a Tempest V in this game. The Tempest is a twitchy aircraft that will flick-stall at the drop of a feather if not properly managed during maneuvers. The guy flying the Tempest has to know his aircraft or he's little more than 100 points waiting to happen. It's a good match-up on the turn, though, if the Tempest pilot knows his ship.
