Anybody else notice the gondola on the destroyed wing? HTC gunna add a few more load outs for my precious 109's...? 
Yaeh a pair of gondalas would hamper the turn rate but still the hurri was known to shoot down Fw 190's when they first appeared but not at the rate of the MkV Spit's. So Its doable either way. as Adolf Galland once said even the best make misstakes. Especially against aircraft that are infearior.
Russion Air Force in WW2 perfect example. I16 where decimated for 3-4 months but once regrouped and attacked in force boy did the Lufftwaffe have trouble.
Point is never look a Gift Horse In the Mouth
