Oh yes DavidRed. Probably one of the best 109 pilots out there (I don't say the best one only because you never know if there is some other crazy punk), definitely the best one I ever fought and I fought many. He's a nasty bad-arse so don't worry if you got your bottom kicked. I am telling you there is lots of strong 109 pilots in this game but no one will make this many 2cm holes in you as quickly as Dave
And he's right also, 109 on 109 is almost always controls out, it's a DM bug (or feature depending how you're looking at it) because some cannon rounds do lots of secondary damage + the 109 is unusually fragile compared to other planes in the game.
The best way of getting better? Fight better pilots and learn from your mistakes. I recommend Repka DF to anyone (I guess this is where you had your 'experience'), there is plenty of good 109 pilots in there, make sure you have your jettison canopy / bail out combo mapped conveniently
