    That’s not a barrel roll. All they did was bank.

    Agreed – was an inverted (wing over) dive and it is what the rear plane needed to do. The ME109 doesn’t need to do that it just dives.

    why doesn’t it need to do what it did?

    109’s had carburettors that could pull negative G’s without cutting out. Early Spitfire’s didn’t so if you just pushed the stick forward the engine would cut out.

    However seeing as that’s at least a 109G… then the comparable Spit would be able to pull negative G’s anyway.

    Regardless, most pilots stuck to pulling positive G’s whenever they could. Neg G’s make you want to puke and pulling a wing over gives you better visibility and control anyway.
