Sounds like fun.

Had that in a fictious encounter over the desert - RAF Martlet vs. 109F - IIRC that never happened IRL - Me vs. AI - turns out the F4F is a serious threat to a 109 if well flown, as it keeps speed well and can absorb bullets alot. And its roll rate make for good defensive and agressive potential, too. On the other hand, Bf109 is faster and climbs better, so if not outnumbered and co-alt, co-E its a fight you shouldn't lose.
Had more fun than I thought I would have(On both sides that is!), on paper F4F just looks like sure looser here, but looks may decieve.
