Any P-39 easily outturns a 109G-6 at sea level,
That is true, but it's not the end..

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.
As soon as you engage a slow, low turner.. you expose yourself as well.

My usual tactic is to ground hug, circling around a DF going on above.
If there is low level escape attempt (they do come down.. always).. I'm there shooting it up or shooting up the 'trailers' after a friendly. If I'm spotted and attacked, there is usually a friendly after my attacker. If it's 1-vs-1.. I'm practised in this type of flying - if my opponent is not.. they're dead meat.. or it's up to who has the best imagination.

If the DF above goes 'bottoms up'.. I warp factor outa there.. to low to be seen.
