I still don't understand... let me get this straight

Ok I'm in a BF109 diving at high speed on a hurricane with neutral trim and forward pressure on the stick to hold the nose down, he sees me and breaks right. I roll right and pull back on the stick gradually accelerating the turn and increasing the angle of attack till eventually one wing or the other stalls and I spin. Does trimming the whole horizontal stabilizer delay the high speed stall? Can my plane achieved greater angle of attack with the stabilizer trimmed by wheel compared to the elevator raised by stick?
If either way I reach same maximum angle of attack and stall in same place then what's the difference?

In real life the elevator forces go up at high speed so I can see an advantage to a pilot trimming the nose up at high speed but in this "sim" none of the fighters have heavy controls at high speed so why not just pull back on the stick.
