As an unashamed 109 fanboy (I just think they are beautiful and have done since a very early age.), I'd have to say that 109s are superior in some ways but they do have their weaknesses also. The spitfire and hurricane have their strengths and weaknesses as well.......

Ultimately success or loss in any battle, let alone a dogfight, comes down to tactics and learning to play to those strengths and avoid those situations where your weaknesses can be exploited. Take notes! Adapt! So you can't, let's say, go into a dive without turning your plane upside down? From that you already know that us 109 pilots are going to take advantage of the fact that we can..... use that knowledge! Think of it like martial arts and use our strengths against us. (Or, if you are up against me..... just sneak up behind me and go straight for the cockpit. lol)

I'm more than happy to admit, and have done many times, that I am an awful pilot and an even worse dogfighter but I am learning and, with each flight, I get a tiny bit better.... the amount of times I have had to eject, on the rare occasion I actually have a chance to before everything goes black, has led me to believe that the 109 is far from indestructible as some on here would have you believe. Ultimately it is all down to the pilot.

I don't lose because my plane is inferior.... I lose because I'm, currently, pretty useless. IMHO some red pilots could benefit from a little introspection.

Also... this IS a simulator not an arcade game. War, generally, isn't particularly "Fair". If the "Lack of balance" disturbs you that much, I say jump into a 109 and let's see if that changes your success rate. Horrible as it is of me to say this..... but..... something tells me you won't do much better.
