The landing gear on ME-109's are pretty close to the center of the fuse when down. This makes the plane relatively unstable on the ground. its a trait of the real plane and is why many of the real ones were damaged or lost during the war due to landing accidents.
The gear locations on the CMP is actually spread farther out from the fuse then is scale to the real plane, so even with this slightly wider wheel stance, Ramstein is saying the plane behaves like the real thing.
My KMP Me-109 is like this and its gear is closer together. They take off usually ok, but landing, well, you gotta let the speed bleed off on the ground before you stear with rudder to turn it around or head to the pits cuz it will scrape a wing tip due to the centrifigal force caused by really close together langing gear.
Think of a mustang.....when the gear is down....the wheels are quite far apart....at least twice the distance as the wheels are on an ME-109.........and this is why the mustang lands and taxi's so easy.
