The Hurri C isn't very fast, nor does it climb as well as some of the late war aircraft. Generally, encourage the faster aircraft to turn with you.

Keep in mind this strategy isn't recommended against Zekes, Brewsters, or I16s.

Step 1:  100% aileron roll right.
Step 2:  100% elevator back.

Continue Step 2 as necessary.

Alternatively, you can try the GRIM version.  This is for advanced users only.

Step 1:  Spend 15 minutes climbing to 30,000ft.
Step 2:  Wade into a front line sector.
Step 3:  Locate a 1v1 at 2,000ft.
Step 4:  Dive 28,000ft.
Step 5:  Pick most disadvantaged aircraft.
Step 6:  Climb back to 30,000ft.

Repeat Steps 1 through 6 as necessary.

It can be dicey against FM-2s as well.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Hurricane turns better and has better rollrate than FM-2. In the end it comes down to the pilot off course.

Forget the IIc...the quad-hispanos are a crutch, used mostly by HO'ers and people that want the quick kill instead of a good fight. 

The Mk1 is where it's at.  Eight .303 machine guns, gets better gas mileage then the IIc, is more fun to fly, and adversaries will underestimate you because they expect it to be a lame non-contender.

So you can't get a quick kill and have a good fight at the same time?

How can a fight be good if it ends in ten seconds?

...is more fun to fly...

In your opinion.  I like nothing better than demolishing CAP or CV aircraft from snapshots in a IIC.  I don't think there is a better plane to up from a vulched field and win the fight.

       In all seriousness I find the zeke and hurricane one of the worst fighters in the game. In a 1v1 a hurricane has no chance to kill me if I choose to stay alive. If I have any kind of altitude I can negate any speed advantage and extend away. Take away altitude and I find Hurricanes are no more dangerous than a 110 or some other HO machine. Furthermore I find zekes/hurricanes are very poor at teaching ACM manuevers. The minute a veteran hurricane pilot steps out of his comfort zone they are lost. The most critical manuever (imho) is forcing an overshoot and its impossible to learn in a pure turn aircraft. Why? Its simply too easy to do...just about everything will over shoot a hurricane by a simple 180 turn. Now reverse that how do you make a hurricane over shoot? That takes real skill compared to to former.

It's been my experience that all the Hurricanes are nothing more than lame non-contenders.

If you win, it's a good fight. 

Honestly, this nonsense that if you don't saddle of on their six or let the fight drag out for 10 minutes, it's not a good fight.  It's not my fault the other guy sucks so bad that he can't put forth a fight that lasts more than 10 seconds.
