Snapper, Dutch and Osprey I take it from your sarcasim that you object to having any negative flight model aspects added even though you constantly cry for a better, truer and more historically accurate flight model. I find it kind of odd when someone else makes a point that might add a realistic characteristic that you belittle the entire thread. Lets just get the facts so we can present them! Not sustain the red vs blue stance.

We can go over the 109 after if you like, I would enjoy that more. The narrow track landing gear physics do not operate as I have read them (when one wheel is on the ground and the other is not which causes the grounded wheel to move toward the centre - turning the aircraft over) for starters.
Point well taken, Farber.

As for the 109, its shortcomings in this sim are well known:

1) it's too slow
2) the stall characteristics are too harsh
3) it's flat spin is not realistic
4) it's too difficult to bring its sights to bear on target
5) it's narrow-track landing gear characteristics is not accurately modelled (as you noted above)
6) prop pitch too slow in changing

Done. Anything missed?
