"the Luftwaffe had been battling the western Allies for controls over European skies with ever improving fighter aircraft produced in absurd quantities, and did not lose the war in the air until mid-1944.

The same cannot be said of the Japanese.

The Combined Fleet under Yamato to struggled to keep up with supplying aircraft to its carriers, leven before Midway, before losing most of its carrier air groups within that battle. When the Navy did assemble them again by '44, they were quickly shattered by superior Allied fighters and AA at the Marianas Turkey Shoot, rendering it's carriers useless for the remainder of the war.

As for its land based aircraft: if the successful raids unleashed upon Rabaul during' 42-'43 aren't indicative of their quality(or lack thereof), the destruction of Truk in early '44 via 8 US carriers should settle that once and for all."

Ever improving? Not at all, actually. It's like a line, instead of progressing upwards towards the next advancement, they would go sideways without addressing the problems the allies presented.

Furthermore, the Fw-190 and Bf-109 would be terrible CV aircraft. They don't turn well, and they can't retain energy in the dive.
