109 G-10 has to be the best of the 109's. It turns as well as the G-6, and the acceleration and climb performance make it turn better in the vertical. It is excellent at roping almost any other piston powered airplane at almost any altitude (watch out for the low La-7's and perked rides).
I tend to try to stay above my targets, but if I am attacked, it is not hard to equalize the energy states, then either escape, or kill whatever was attacking. My preferred tactic is to force the enemy to do some high speed turns and give him only high angle deflection shots. By the time he has sacrificed his E for angles, I start to extend in a shallow climb. When I notice him falling behind, I entice him to keep following by slowly turning to the left, and climbing a little more. Most enemies think they can pluck me out of the air at this point, and try to push their planes to the limit. By the time they are close enough to take a shot, I am almost vertical and turning hard to the left on the edge of a stall. When their nose drops, so do I and I swoop down and shoot. I usually miss though since I am a bad shot, but when I hit, it is awesome. Either way, at this point, I am totally in charge, and can dictate the terms of the engagement.
Have fun, and watch for the other guy. More times than not, it is the guy you didn't see that gets you.
