Any guide for dogfighting with BF109?

[Gubernaut]

Does anyone know of a guide for dogfighting with the 109? Like what are the maneuvers to know and what should you do when a fighter gets behind you? I know getting in a turning fight is a losing idea with the 109, but that's the most natural thing when you don't know what else to do.

Are yoyos like loop-de-loops? I find often when I try to go in a loop the enemy has not much trouble following me. Maybe I'm attempting it when he's too close but it usually ends bad (I get shot approaching the top of the loop) Should I get more speed first and pull the loop tighter?

Ah yes I do try to use that move sometimes, but you think after pulling the manuver I should be attacking from above heading down? Or might it work if after the manuver I'm approaching the target from below?

"... you will get more kills flying zoom and boom." Precisely what Helmut Lipfert wrote in his War Diary. Don't take chances and "fly" like your life really depends upon it. And only engage when you have the clear advantage.

And when you get behind him, don't miss. Practice gunnery. Fancy flying will be meaningless without it. You should be good enough to bring down a plane with a couple second burst everytime.
