Title says it all. Is there any plane or family that should be a big “avoid me!” sign for the BF-109-G2 on energy dogfights, and possibly BnZ?
Spitfire, Zero

Fundamentally, the Bf109 shouldn’t engage in dogfights
It’s better to fight hit-and-run battles

To put it bluntly, all of them.
Your playstyle is not to directly engage in turnfights but to utilize energy management and climb rate to exploit the opponent’s energy state

109 designed for dogfight and excels in energy fights while 190’s are more suited for BnZ even tho they also excel in dogfight.
109 doesn’t really compete in strict turning dogfights.
but man, do I love stall fighting/energy fighting in 109s. some of the most fun you will have
