1. Stop blaming your own inadequacy on others
2. Turn off stall limmiter
3. Stop flat turning
4. Use ACMs
5. Outmanouver anything

Well, the Finnish pilots considered Hurricane to be rather sluggish for a fighter...

Our Hurri doesn't feel sluggish at all. Instant respose to aileron controls, great E retention after dives...

It probably was good in turning circles but I do not know if it was good in anything else.

Well, HiTech, I guess that's settled. Better remodel it and fix this obvious oversight, quickly.

This is what happens when you get all your information from the History Channel :lol
couple of night ago there was some shows on the P-47 and P-40.   I heard this about the P-40,  "with it's 50mm guns P-40 was a deadly aircraft against the lighter Zero"  I had to rewind several times to make sure I heard what I heard, and thats just one tiny sample

You got to remember WWII air combat was rarely fought like it is in AH. Those silly bastages in WWII wanted to live.:)

In the Battle of Britain the Hurricane landed 5 out of every 7 kills. So, the ever so popular Spitty must be a tad over modeled eh?:confused:

That's because the primary focus of the Hurricanes were the Luftwhiner bombers while the Spitfires primary focus were the Luftwhiner's fighter escorts.  So naturally, the Hurricane is going to have a higher kill ratio than the Spitfire.

Ack, i was thinking the same thing except how do you account for the information that there was about 2 - 3 fighters for every 1 bomber (on some raids, probably not all)

That was the plan. It rarely happened that way. Like all military plans they last until contact with the enemy. The main reason for the Hurricanes high kill numbers were simply there were a hell of a lot more of them then Spits.

Still the Hurricane was still a great plane during the BOB.  Five out of every seven lost LW aircraft can't be all wrong.:aok
