Hello folks, it's a pleasure to join this forum!
I'm a huge fan of the 190 Anton, but I'm finding a conflict with it's performance at low and medium altitude against the Allied fighters from 1943 onwards. Against the Western Allies, particulary against the P-51, I found it to be considerably outclassed in speed. Not to say in high altitude. Some Soviets fighters in theory were also superior, specially the La-5FN and La-7. But from the German pilot's point of view, I only see complains when the fight was at high altitude, and only against the Western Allies. An American test report of a captured Anton I read is analogous to the view from German pilots.
Can someone let the things clear to me?
Thanks since now for the attention,
Marcelo Jenisch
