Which performance should have the new Fw-190A-4?

But he admitted himself a few years ago on former Ubi oleg's ready room that the real A4 fighter version that was used for instance against the British in 42-43 should be similar to the ingame A5 in term of performances, so i understand your point mate.
To be fair to history, it's not just that. If it was only the fact that it was a derated eastern front jabo it would be ok.

But what we have with all of Oleg's Antons (or more accuratelly with the BMW 801) is a more serious problem. It's the kommandogerat that does not work correctly by optimizing propeller pitch, engine mix and response, as well as the engine acceleration factor in the FM data.

This causes the abysmal acceleration we have in all Antons. As far as we know from historical data, the BMW 801 should provide one of the best instant responses and initial accelerations of all the engines in the game, but we see the exact opposite. IIRC, the Merlin engines have an acceleration factor of 0.7 while the BMW 801 and Pratt & Witney R-2800 have one of 0.4.

I firmly believe that unless it's an inverselly proportional scale (the lower the factor the higher the acceleration) these values are wrong. And it makes no sense calling an inverselly proportional scale factor an "acceleration factor". If this was the case, it should be called an "inertial factor", reflecting the inability for an engine to change it's state (rpm wise).

I agree.

But that is preciselly the point. Using manual propeller pitch is grossly inacurate for the 190 and 109. The kommandogerat's purpose was to regulate the engine faster and better than a pilot could to allow optimal performance, with the added benefit of reducing the pilot's workload for him to concentrate more intensivelly in the combat mission.
