Best 14 cylinders engined fighters

[Vincenzo]

following my thread on 12 cylinders now one on 14 cylinders radial engined fighters
same rules:
Obviously in WW II, fightning model not design, experimentals types and so. Best as you want, best on paper performance or best results in fights.
This time i don't take out any company.

Clearly the Fw190A stands above all others in this category.

Regarding overall success or from a design point of view, probably. But La-7, Ki 44, J2M and maybe others (?) need to be considered.

Fw-190A - it took time for other 14 cyl designs to come close to it's combo of performance, maneuverability firepower.

my choice is chronologically: Hawk 75, Zero, Fw 190, La-5FN-La7.
