I'm not really a 109 flyer but I wonder if the following fits in with CoD 109E performance:-

Ulrich Steinhilper (109 pilot in BoB, shot down towards the end of it so probably flying 109E) said that many new pilots couldn't keep up because they couldn't get the hang of running up to stable speed under max rpm then coarsening the pitch to 'boost' the airspeed before returning to fine pitch to build up the revs again, rinse and repeat. In that way they achieved max speed more quickly that just waiting for it to build up at max rpm.

Just a thought.
