Yes your quite right and this was modeled quite well in 1946. I would often climb and stall out 109s if at a high enough altitude, and dive back down for the kill. Sometimes I would have 2or 3 109s in pursuit and I could turn and climb tighter and usually kill all if not at least 1 and then the others would be damaged and eventually extend and escape in a dive. This was one of my favorite tactics to take advantage of!
