For the record I have not read of one incident from WW2 where the 109 could hang on 45 degrees from CO-e and watch the Spitfire fall away helplessly. In actual fact the opposite is more likely true given that the standard escape for a Spitfire was a steep climbing turn.

I trust therefore that we won't hear any complaints when you can no longer use this tactic.

Though I dont think the "exploit" in vogue at the moment is historically accurate there was concern at the time about the 109E and F's ability to Climb at a steeper angle than the Spitfire as AVIA 6/13805 shows:
