- Best turner of the 109's.

-  good climb

- slowest of the 109's, so use try to have altitude in enemy territory

- use 20mm gondolas - you will still turn fairly well, and you will rely on the firepower to kill quickly and more surely. If you don't put your opponant down fast, you are in increasing danger against many other aircraft

-avoid the  Yak

Others know more...

Minus -  you  could be right... my impression is based on a few bad experiences against Yaks in the Franz... and their reputation as  "dedicated 109 killers"... and my dweeby flying skills. :p
