I stand corrected, the water cooled ones were easier to bring down. The FW 190 was an air cooled radial. Little bit more rugged.ME 109 was water cooled. Bit more to sensitive to high velocity rounds.
Germany used both.
The FW190’s biggest problem was high attitude performance.
The FW 190 also rectified the main problem with ME 109 - the very narrow track landing gear was highly unstable. Supposedly, more 109s were lost to take-off and landing crashes due to the gear than were shot down in battle.
