This is a subreddit for War Thunder, a cross platform vehicular combat MMO developed by Gaijin Entertainment for Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The game is based around combined arms battles on air, land, and sea with vehicles from the Spanish Civil War to today.
I wanted to make a comparison of three of the best (for me available) planes at the different branches !!
I know, that the D-13 is a 1944er development, when the Corsair and the La-5FN are more of a 1942er Plane, but this makes the comparison even more interesting:
When we think about of the Fw 190 D-13 as one of the best available german Piston engine Fighter (except the Ta-152). in the other branches are more and probably even better late war models coming like P-51 Mustang or the La-7 which i cant rate at the moment !!
Note: All was taken out of testflight in 'Simulator' setting with 20 min Fuel attached.
Fw 190 D-13 | F-4U-1d Corsair | La-5FN | |
Low level Speed | superior (593 km/h) | superior (599 km/h) | superior (592 km/h) |
max. allowed Dive Speed at low alt (before 'Reduce speed' kicks in) | superior (around 920 km/h) | superior (around 950 km/h) | poor (around 780 km/h) |
low level Acceleration | very good | good | superior |
Max. sustained Turn Rate | average | good | superior |
Max. sustained AoA (whilst turning, before stalling) | average | good | superior |
Max. sustained Climb Rate | very good | good | superior |
Steepest sustained Climb Angle (without losing speed) | average | average | superior |
Roll Rate at low speed | very good | good | very good |
Roll Rate at high Speed | superior | good | poor |
Overall Roughness | very good | superior | poor |
Armament | superior | very good | very good |
Conclusion (not only out of the data, but also following personal impressions when flying with or against those):
1. The La-5FN looks to be a bit overperforming especially comparing to the Fw 190 D-13 in terms of level speed, acceleration and climb rate
2. The Corsair was a fast, very rugged plane, but could she turn really that good ??? Even at lower speeds ???
3. Sadly the Fw 190 D-13 looks to be overall the 'worsest' of those three, only superior in roll rate, when it should outperform (in my opinion) both in level speed, acceleration and maybe sustained climb rate EDIT: but this happens, because both others performs too good… D-13 is fine as she is
Note: i know, i didnt tested one of the biggest advantages of the D-13: the HIGH Altitude performance !!
But we all know, currently those fights are not taking place in WT ! Even when they begin in those alts, they quickly moving downwards against tree top level… so in my opinion, its not worth to compare those planes as long as we dont have high altitude strategic bombing raids to fight

The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 (nicknamed Würger;[3] English: Shrike) is a German single-seat, single-engine fighter aircraft designed by Kurt Tank at Focke-Wulf in the late 1930s and widely used during World War II. Along with its well-known counterpart, the Messerschmitt Bf 109, the Fw 190 became the backbone of the Jagdwaffe (Fighter Force) of the Luftwaffe. The twin-row BMW 801 radial engine that powered most operational versions enabled the Fw 190 to lift larger loads than the Bf 109, allowing its use as a day fighter, fighter-bomber, ground-attack aircraft and to a lesser degree, night fighter.
High-altitude developments
Tank started looking at ways to address the altitude performance problem early in the program. In 1941, he proposed a number of versions featuring new powerplants, and he suggested using turbochargers in place of superchargers. Three such installations were outlined
