In fact that is the trait of just about any well designed aircraft (inc. 109 etc.). All designers design wing stall characteristics so that to roots stall before the tips, and to maintain aileron control.

The Spitfire is a far superior aerobatic machine to the 109, you'd have to be a fanboy not to realise that.

Oh, I don't think anybody has trouble acknowledging the superior aerobatic qualities of the Spitfire for making loops and other aerobatics pleasing to the eye, and as such
its a superior aerobatics plane but all of that is completely useless feature for air combat, which is the very reason why the 109 is generally superior
as a fighter.
