Basically, it's all about working the throttle and knowing how to use manual trim - torque can be your greatest enemy as well as your best fried if you know how to handle it.
And you have to get used to the ballistics in case of later 109 versions... which one are you referring to? Quite some differences between them.

I don't use manual trim at all and I can handle it pretty well.

 It's just like any other plane, but placing an emphasis on the importance of the crossing shot, as this gun solution ends the fight, whereas if you were in a 50cal bird, this gun solution would do no more damage than a simple oil leak.

I don't fly to fly, I fly to shoot.

Go straight, if something gets in front of you, shoot it or turn.

The vertical and torque is your friend  always fight going up hill 

[Dadsguns]

Its simple, all you have to do is:
1. Climb to 25k
2. level off
3. dive down on unsuspecting victim
3.5 Ho everything in sight
4. climb back up to 25k
5. any threat from adversaries co alt
6. RUN!

Just like Lusche stated, success is mostly in throttle management and learning to use the torque to your advantage and gunnery is a big plus.

Obviously you've never flown against my squad..
Torque! always turn/roll to the left, have confident control of the throttle, take fights to the vertical as much as possible, and torque roll downwards to find a stalling spit in your pipper.

die in it, over and over again. soon it becomes second nature.

[Lusche]

I don't use manual trim at all and I can handle it pretty well.

I don't use combat trim during regular combat either.

But someone not used to the 109's (and manual trim) will quite often do the lawndart if he doesn't know how to trim elevator up quickly. Been there, done that

[Bosco123]

Got to use the throttle and E to your advantage. Vertical scisors is a 109's best friend
