Do you have a physical reason for why this would be the case? The 190’s wing loading is poor. It is to my knowledge this would heavily limit its ability to pull.
I think it’s an issue of semantics/definitions.
In the video I linked earlier discussing Fw190s for sim - the content creator makes it a point to draw attention to the distinction of agility and raw turning performance.
Another point is high speeds and the fact that our pilots can sit on 6G+ indefinitely if aced (and with expert 5/5, at around 5.8 or so). Other flight sims have you start blacking out pretty quickly if you try to do the same thing in spitfires as you do in Warthunder.
Edit:
It’s MkVb vs MkVc so wingshape is different, but that doesn’t change the effects of G-forces. I dont have the the Vc.
Rather notably, even if you do pass out in WT you retain some degree of control (and with trimmers, full control. You can trim max up-pitch and keep turning with a vegetable in the cockpit) and awareness and it resolves relatively quickly. Il2 it speaks for itself.
Also since I cannot pull 11G reliably without spinning myself to death, here’s an example of WT’s G-tolerance in my mustang instead:

Genuinely no. They were extremely maneuverable mostly in terms of roll rate. Any 190 pilot that would dare turn with a Spit was a pure idiot and would be a damn fool. And yes I’m talking reality. They didn’t “turn better at speed” the maintained maneuverability at high speeds, but outturning a Spit? I would need like 5 firsthand sources to back that up if i were to even entertain that, considering how often I hear the general consensus of “unmatched roll, amazing speed, low/mid alt performance, turn radius very large compared to contemporaries.”
Because Eric Brown said so (despite being on the opposing side/an enemy). The excerpt is from his book, Wings of the Luftwaffe

Okay now please explain what an aileron turn is.
