I think she's fine, in fact going by some reports she's too good, and I guess this is the same with the other craft too.
There are a lot of accounts of Spitfire and Hurricane pilots making a 109 follow them in a dive at low altitude and then quickly pulling up. The 109 can't pull up as sharply and crashes into the ground.
The above can't happen in this game I can dive from really high up and pull out very close to the sea/ground.
Also I don't think it's realistic that you can do a loop from sea level. In reality you'd lose some energy in the loop and finish at a lower altitude, in this case you'd be under water. This doesn't happen in the game, you can loop from sea level easily.
So yeah I'm not convinced the FM is realistic but I don't find the 109 porked, she's a great little plane.
