Spot on Bliss,
I very rarely fly straight and level for more than 20 seconds and usually fly in a moderate ess pattern always checking six right and then left or the other way around depending on the side from which I expect the enemy to arrive.

Many, many times I see the incoming 109 if the approach it makes is a shallow dive towards me. Long before I hear it. Yes, I fly with the cockpit open for visibility issues. As an aside, yesterday with the newest patch I only heard the 109 as it passed me close at high speed- it did not shoot. What a great sound!!
