Yes, I read about this kind of manoeuvre that helped seasoned pilots in 109 to keep on the tail of a spit - at least in some circumstances. I believe that this kind of manoeuvre is only possible for a less well turning plane, that is one that looses energy quickly in turns, when the acceleration is high enough in order to regain quickly the speed lost in the previous tight turn. Helas, I do think that the acceleration as modelled in the game is too bad for the 109. Since the old IL2 and the discussion I always found that too little focus was put on acceleration. Heated discussions were always running on max speed and turning performance. But rarely to never about acceleration which is imho as important. Too be honest I do think that the 109 accelerates like a heavy truck rather than a decent limousine.
