Historically the 109 is a energy fighter, if you fly another way and have success,well good for you. I must say though once you learn to retain energy it's the best way to fly it for most pilots. There is no need to as you say run away once the 109 has been mastered, although there in nothing wrong in knowing to cut and run. A fight often deteriorates into a low and slow fight and then yes knowing your aircraft stalling characteristics will help to keep you alive. But usually a low and slow fight tends to end in someone stalling and dieing.
