the 109 had nose mounted armament beginning from the F series. A huge advantage when you are firing at close range.
We hve alrdy discussed this point. The two points limiting your min conv range are the wing's guns max permissible travel range (we are in the +-5° range) and the prop diameter in the most extreme case.
In more accurate sim than old IL2 regarding History, I took the habits to aim with only one wing flying my Spit IX really close to my enmy's rear. It worked great with 20 + 12.7mm.

Reason: Nose mounted in place of "gun mounted" of course
