   I think the Hurri guns would be the deciding factor, and to really tell, youd have to fight yourself, the brew If I remember correctly has a slightly better turn radius?  That would be fun though,  it really comes down to who is flying the birds, and there skill in said plane, and there skill at landing the shots that count, wish I could remember the ace that said "the better shot will always win over the better pilot" from my experance that is correct, ive lost fights to guys ive missed many shots on, before they even were able to get a solution,then bamm they hit one and its over,  that one good hit is all it takes. Especially from a hurri.

Well when you get a group of peeps together with same abilities on each side while switching rides tween both sides, If one plane seems to be winning most contests then I think we can all agree it is the plane that is the advantaged  :aok

At least that is how it's played out so far!

Don't count out the toughness either.  In one of those rounds I got hit some by a Zeke before I twisted away and got him.  Not a bit of damage.  Every Zeke I hit when in the Brew took some kind of damage, no matter how small the hit.  In the Zeke, you really had to put rounds on target for a second or two to take the Brew out.  The Zeke's nasty stall, along with the Brew's toughness and ease of flight and ammo capacity definitely tip it in the Brew's favor.  

Nishi, if you see me on, give me a shout and I'll gladly go back and forth with them with you man.  I'm not a great stick, but I'll give you the best fight I can.  
Yes the times I was killed in the zeek I was on a brew trying to weight him down with BBs. :D

I did not get the stalls in the zeek as some have said. Both birds seemed very lite and nimble. Generally both were very pilot friendly... well except for the fierce fire in one of them. :D

I had a really good fight with a zero in my brewster a while back, only filmed the last half of it unfortunately but here's the film (hopefully, never used mediafire before...)
