Угу, вот только сами пилоты на P-38 об этом не знали
Fw 190 vs P-38F Lightning
The Fw 190 was compared with an operational P-38F flown by an experienced US Army Air Force pilot. The two aircraft were compared for speed and all-round manoeuvrability at heights up to 23,000 ft. The Fw 190 was superior in speed at all heights up to 22,000 ft, where the two aircraft were approximately the same. The approximate differences in speeds are as follows:
...
Manoeuvrability: The Fw 190 is superior to that of the P-38F, particularly in the rolling plane. Although at high speed the Fw 190 is superior in turning circles, it can be out-turned if the P-38F reduces its speed to about 140 mph (225 km/h), at which speed it can carry out a very tight turn, which the Fw 190 cannot follow. The acceleration of the two aircraft was compared and the Fw 190 was found to be better in all respects. When the Fw 190 'bounced' the P-38F and was seen when over 1,000 yards away, the pilot's best manoeuvre was to go into a diving turn and, if it found the Fw 190 was catching it up, to pull up into a spiral climb, flying at its lowest possible speed.
