I fly mostly blue and I don't feel like 109s need a mirror... but, I am not against such a thing and I don't consider it a cheat.
Most of the time my friends (109s fliers also) say:
"Look, the germans didn't fit mirrors on their aircraft because they didn't want to relay on that thing for checking their six etc... thus their tactic in this respect was superior"
I replay:
"Look, all current supersonic fighter planes have at least 2 mirrors, the speed you could be bounced (or cought by a missile) is much much higher and still they find those mirors useful... so give me a brake with this 'We fight with just one hand and one leg' argument"
The only small issue would be if that mirror slows down in real life the plane... as it was fited externaly... but, I thing this would be debatable also.
