Boo,
all the 109s are vertical fighters. Yes, a 109F will turn like a spit 16, and so will the g2, but they must be put into context and a spit5 will out turn both of them.
Traits that 109s have
1) Excellent climbers
2) Excellent at changing 'e' state (accelerate quickly, slow down quickly)
3) G14/K4 have a powerful gun which change the way you think about fights.
4) Excellent yaw characteristics
5) G14/k4 have enormous torque and can be used to do some crazy post stall moves
Advice...
* Don't do flat turns, always look for a way to cut the turn, either by slicing upward or slicing downward.
* Exploit the ability it has to change 'e' states to get the other guy to give you a crossing shot (esp in k4/g14)
* Many 'tricks' can be achieved due to the torque of the engine and the yaw ability
- yaw when below stall speed
- stomping on the rudder to keep the nose up, and even falling on one wing tip
- below 200 (preferably closer 100), rolling, then stomping on the rudder combined with gunning the throttle followed by pulling it back and back on again, will cause the nose to pop up, followed by the plane flopping upside down and yawing, followed by the nose suddenly dropping.
- at the top of a rolling scissors, one can get well below stall speed and use the engine to 'drag' the nose back down
- with some practice one can do huge tail slides (falling backwards on the tail) and then be able to recover.
- very nice wing-overs, although the p51 does one to the left easier and cleaner.
TIP: go into the TA and fly through the hanger, then pull straight up and at the top try to do a 'move', then recover and then fly though the same hanger and repeat. If you do it right you can do it so that when you recover your lift vector is pointing the same direction it was when you were climbing, essentially doing a 180 in direction at the top.
