Observations:

Yak-9 (Tactics)

1. Avoid Fighting BF-109G that has altitude advantage
2. Force Fights to happen below 3500m altitude
3. Force the dogfight to become a contest of turning capability
4. Engage with altitude or energy advantage

BF-109G-2 (Tactics)
1. Avoid Fighting Yak-9 below 3500m altitude but rather fight at high altitudes
2. Engage with either speed or altitude advantage
3. Use Boom & Zoom tactics or energy based tactics with short uses of 1.42ata
4. Avoid getting into turn fighting contest
