It is better in the ground attack role too. The air cooled radial engine can take more damage than the in line DB 600s of the 109 and it carries more bombs, guns and ammo. So what does make the 109 more versatile?
The 109 doesn't stall in every single ground attack run or turning dogfight

And don't give me all that "flown correctly" nonsense, the fact that you have to fly it in a certain way makes it less versatile
