I totally agree with you, i have a feeling this BNZ religion/myth about the german planes is something created by IL2 simulation pilots. I've read so many accounts of german pilots about their experiences in combat and i never heard them talk about the 109 as being such a difficult plane to fly. The descriptions mostly refer to the plane as nimble...
