In contrast to the Bf.109, the "race horse", which sacrificed speed for operational qualities, the FW.190 was to become the Luftwaffe's "work horse".
 The first prototype FW.190V1 took its maiden flight on 1 June 1939. The aircraft went into series production in June 1941 and appeared on the Western Front in August.

 <!-- ''Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).'' -->
-The Fw 190 A-5 is mediocre. The performance at high speeds is excellent, as is their dive and zoom characteristics, but the climb rate is subpar and is the worst A-5, as the U/12 is lighter at the same BR and the U/2 is even lighter than the U/12 and at a lower BR. The climb rate is mediocre and requires you to sideclimb to gain an altitude advantage. However, it is similar in playstyle to the previous 190s- you just fight more dangerous opponents. Previous strategies are still applicable.
+The Fw 190 A-5, as all the planes in this line, is one of the best Boom and Zoomers in the game and should be flown exclusively in this style. The performance at high speeds is excellent, as is their dive and zoom characteristics. '''Do not ever engage in a turn fight''', as this will most likely end badly. Instead, fight only in the vertical. Try to have an altitude or speed advantage over your opponents (by climbing to the side at the start of the battle and then enter the highest battle you see). But you can still win fights when you are lower in energy than your foe.
