i like going low to the floor tree top level so that way i can use trees as cover and hope they crash works like 60% of the times

Nothing you can do if you didn't outclimb the enemy or have the energy advantage. That's why I hate German planes, they offer absolutely no flexibility.

Get them to bleed speed and pull away from them. 190s are also generally faster in a dive in the worst case scenario. P-51s can keep up with you better, but Yaks won't be bale to follow you indefinitely in a dive. Your energy retention is much better than either aircraft so if you can build up the speed, you can get away.

Do not try to out turn them, you will die every time.

Primarily, you'll want to use your energy retention to your advantage. When you're engaging a more maneuverable aircraft, you'll want to use High/Low Yo-Yos to cut into their turn circles so you can get guns on target.
