Hi Ataros,
There is no problem with the view. This is the tactical advantage of the Bf109. And in an on-line game the reds get to feel the heat.
As far as the historic truth is concerned you were right, that was Luftwaffe's aim.
Why Luftwaffe failed, because the monthly production of planes was higher than the attrition rate; Which was one of the miracles of the UK production facilities.
Luftwaffe destroyed two times the amount of enemy planes they thought RAF was in possesion off and RAF kept coming...
