Likewise for the armoured and clumsy Fw.190-F8.
Not all Luftwaffe fighters were for dogfighting with other fighters, some were for the primary fighter role of killing bombers.

What you say true, but don't forget Bf-109G was designed to adapt to many different tasks, even dogfighting.
Erich Hartmann flew Bf-109G only (maybe a stuka earlier?) and scored that amazing number of kills, many being fighter planes.
That said, I still prefer Bf-109F. Or put in another way, I can't fly Bf-109G lol.
