Any P-39 easily outturns a 109G-6 at sea level, and added to that, you're exposing yourself to every other fighter in the area. A 109 turning on the deck is always a welcome sight as it means an easy kill.
Mind you, the P-39 generally is very tough opposition for a 109G-6 in game. I tend to engage them only from an advantageous position, and then on my terms. Which usually involves high altitude spiral climbs. If I don't have the advantage, I'll come back with the advantage and if that's not possible, I just disengage. At sea level, it is possible to outrun all but the Q-10, so in case of emergency, I just dive for the deck and keep running.
