Thnx ArtieBob for your answer.

You noticed the pilot's experience factor. I agree with it, but I rather intend not to jugde both types (let's treat Fw 190D-9 and Ta 152H-1 fighters together as Focke-Wulfs): Bf 109K-4 and Focke-Wulfs, and decide which aircraft was better, but I just want to say in my opinion Bf 109K-4 could compare and fight as good as Focke-Wulfs. Right, I know all technical data and performances these fighters and I realize that Bf 109K-4 with his 727 kph maximum speed, excellent climb rate and not bad armament was not worse than Focke-Wulfs.

I read that Third Reich produced 190 Ta 152H-1, 650 Fw 190D-9 and ca. 1000 Bf 109K-4. Still I would want to know the effectiveness in fight (air victories) each of them. But this would be hard.

My good well-known Luftwaffe expert describes Bf 109K-4 as the piece of scrap with powerful engine. Fw 190A was more developmental than Bf 109, which production should be ended at F version (I heard such as opinion too). But I think until Fw 190D and Ta 152H versions Bf 109 was better high-level fighter than Fw 190A (f.e. Bf 109G-10, predecessor of Bf 109K-4).

Ok, Bf 109K-4 as the costruction type in the end 1944 belongs to the past, but due to his speed&climb I think was not much worse than both Focke-Wulfs. The one thing I want to know is the keeping it in production was a mistake or not?
