For starters, Fw190s were simply not available for the Battle of Britain. Making it available means starting the design earlier before critical tactical lessons are learned, and using an available radial engine. BMW132?

When your alternate history consists of the Germans not making mistakes, we should consider correcting some British mistakes too. They can switch from the Idiotenreihe ("idiot's file") to the finger four fighter formations. Maybe they can make fewer Whitleys and Hampdens, and more Spitfires.

You are stuck with the Whitleys, Nothing else will act as the heavy bomb truck until you get Hercules engines into the Wellington.
Hampdens are suspect, not that were a failure but they just didn't much that a Pegasus powered Wellington couldn't do. An extra 10-15mph was not going to save them.
But building more Spitfires with Pegasus engines or Dagg.......no, no, not going there

Any German 9 cyl engine is badly behind the curve. Far better is to use a V12:





Nothing prevents you for suggesting the British doing stuff better.
