As it is a democracy, the Spitfire was the better looking of the two.

which variant ? Fw 190A-8/R8 was wicked with 2 2cm and 2 3cm weapons, only three rounds of 3cm to knock down A US or RAF bomber.

I have to agree the Fw-190 IN GENERAL looked better than the 109.

looks can be deceiving.

The Bf 109G-6/AS and G-10 variants were the fastest 109's and did well in their high cover roles during the summer-winter of 44-45. Also well as a fast high altitude a.c at night agasint LSNF Mossies flying over the Reich for harassment raids on Berlin.

The 109K-4 was the fastest of the 109 variants (452mph, a good deal faster any of the Gustavs). But Plan_D is right, just about any variant of the 190 looked better than any variant of the 109.
