One thing that marks all aces out apart from their count of victories is their ability to survive. At the peak of their game in evenly matched planes I don't think many top aces would get a shot on another unless a head on.
 
You're putting a 12 victory 66 combat sortie Ace against a ace that would eventually fly 1404 combat sorties and and get to 352 victories.
WHY ?

Then put Hartmann in a variant of the Bf-109 he never flew in combat, by the time Hartmann got to the front the Luftwaffe was flying the G models of the 109.

With out some parameters I'm puzzled why the question is even asked .
