Try the BR 3 La 5fn and p51 d in practice in a straight line. You will see the 190 a8 is quite slow 
I still have success with 190s bushwacking pilots, but any plane can do that really.

I really wish I didnt miss the fire planes event …
The planes themselves are great. But the drop tanks suck unfortunately.
Also the premium versions are still for sale…
I think

Yeah they are but the price is xD for something that should be in TT I given money for the Firefly normally this tank also should have been in TT and the Comet to be for sale since they make battle passes and Firefly have a lot of options for skin same is with the [ Grumman F6F Hellcat this plane has such potential for skins and tis behind event and pay wall same is with Japan Chi-Ha Kai such vehicles that have such potential for battle pass value are wasted for events and paywall…

The alleged top high speed feel like some conspirancy shit because I am yet to see planes reaching 500km/h without diving.

That’s what I was talking about!
Unfortunately the enemy didn’t use many planes, just one IL2!
Maybe it would be good for br4, but I don’t think so for br3, although I would be happy if it happened, because I like this plane.
No
MK108 just got no AP.
On the other hand MK101 on premium BF110 C-6 with AP rounds works just fine.
It is the BK3.7 HVAP which got bug, only affecting BF110 G-2
Maybe, but you can do that in a BR 2 plane (even a br 1 plane). As you say, you were left alone. Thats “performance in a Vacuum”. They didn’t even have a fighter up.
I won’t recommend say I-153 for BR 3 just because I had a higher scoring game than that one for example. (played 1 match for a screenshot, average match. nothing crazy)
BR 1 I-153
BR 3 P-38 J needs no introduction (Defeated by Weather Baloon Cable)
Ive based its BR rating on similar flight performance, ability and loadout, and the BR 3 fighters mentioned perform better (and can also Provide CAS).
In a fight over the Air space I’d bet on the BR 3 la 5 fn, hellcat and the p51. Basically, if you had an opposite fighter pilot of equal level in that match, you would have alot of trouble.

I decided to race the planes, flying straight and level from spawn in practice: (you won’t get these in matches most likely but)
TL:DR the FW 190 A-8 gets beaten in Speed by all the Comparable BR 3 Aircraft. Worse at dog fighting AND slower
FW-190 A-8 vs BR 3
P51D: (first Place)
539km/h as I hit the edge of the map
546km/h dying from out of bounds (was still accelerating)
La-5FN: (Second Place)
513km/h as I hit the edge of the map
521km/h dying from out of bounds (barely accelerating)
P-38-J-15: (Third Place)
513km/h as I hit the edge of the map
520km/h dying from out of bounds (barely accelerating)
Yak 9k: (Fourth Place)
5011Km/h as I hit the edge of the map
518Km/h dying from out of bounds (barely accelerating)
FP-5 Hellcat (Fifth Place)
508Km/h as I hit the edge of the map
518Km/h dying from out of bounds (barely accelerating)
FW-180 A-8: (Last Place)
480Km/h as I hit the edge of the map
483km/h dying from out of bounds (maxed)
And just for Fun some BR 2 Fighters
A few BR 2 fighters
Spitfire Mk Vc Trop:
464 km/h as I hit the edge of the map
469 Km/h dying from out of bounds (maxed)
Yak-7b:
484 km/h as I hit the edge of the map
489 Km/h dying from out of bounds (maxed)
P-38 G:
495 km/h as I hit the edge of the map
502 Km/h dying from out of bounds (maxed)
All these were done with full payload. The FW-190 A-8 breaks 525 IF you dump the rockets but everything else still beats it if they drop payload, except Yak9k (P51- hits 573 if you dump the bombs)

The FW 190 is better for air combat than any other fighter in Germany, which is why I mentioned that they didn’t use the fighter, because those advantages are only for ground attack, which is what some claim the FW 190 A8 is weak at.
It has the most guns yes, But I find the G.55 fiat and “any” of the 109s far superior. They can actually dog fight. The G10,14 and K-4 smashes the 190
But to each his own
Maybe it’s a matter of taste! The 109s are more stable, but the 190’s maneuverability is so high, even if a skilled pilot gets behind you, you have a chance of defeating him.
you must be the exception my friend!
It can roll VERY well but everything else is far worse, especially the turning. So I don’t understand why you think so.

Im a fw-A8 enjoyer and I love this plane, good fire power, and fun to use but never experienced to defeat a pilot who gets behind me, maneuvrability with this plane is kinda joke

They would have to make a very big mistake for you to experience it haha.
@Euthymia07 This is the last one you said wasn’t on the list as discussed. You have replied to the rest.
