The f handles much better than the later ones because it is lighter = lower wing loading.
I came across some of the data from the pc version, and the 109f is very close to the la5 in that one.
In particular, its corner speed (where it gets max degrees/s) is just a little higher than la5's, at about 370kph. where it does about 33 degrees/s but bleeds energy heavily. The sustained turn curve is better than la5 between about 380 to 450, and worse elsewhere.
BOP is undoubtedly less accurate, since most of the planes can easily sustain level turns under 19 seconds, but I bet you'll get better results with a 109f if you keep it between 400-450. Fight the energy fight. Takes longer to get kills of course, but takes longer to die too.
I've set the 109f elevator at 4 notches below top and it remained pretty stable. Rolls good, too.
Just so you know, the patch awards the K4 for one online win with any plane. Ta152 also.
