To me this is not true.
I've flow red alot and yes 109's are faster and outclimb you, but that doesn't mean they get an automatic kill.
Just keep an eye on him, without trying to follow him up.
Stay level or in a shallow climb and wait for him to come down again, then turn into him and force him to turn or go back up.
Just keep doing this untill he loses patience and/or makes a mistake.
Often they'll even stall and spin out at the top of their hammerhead and hand you the advantage on a platter.
Without being an ace pilot (which I certainly am not!) you can even keep 2 109's occupied in this way, spiralling down while dragging them along and giving your teammates a perfect opportunity to attack em.
And yes some will decide it's not worth it when you start throwing lead their way and run off...but that's just fine.
Fly away while keeping an eye on them and look for the next, easier target.
Flying like this I always end up with a higher kills than deaths ratio.
Rarely get PK'd, except by one certain 109 pilot who hasn't been online in weeks. More often than not the plane will be falling apart while I'm still alive.
I know many red pilots complain these days, but I just can't agree with them.. especially now red got 100oct planes that are faster than before.
They seem to want the old days of total spit IIa superioirty back but that's just not going to happen, nor was it historical.
