I dunno Kingpin I think you are overstating the difference its going to make. The Hurricane IIC was present in the battle and it was in the original FSO design we ran. It's not like I said "Ok I am going to have the Royal Navy fly F4U-1Cs off of CVs to balance things out". 
OK. Perhaps I am overstating it, but in my opinion, adding the cannon armed Hurri makes it the premium intercept aircraft in the scenario. The Hurri 2 has a
mininum 24 number and no maximum. In comparison, the "minimum 24" aircraft for the Axis is the C202. Maybe switching the minimum number to one of the P40 models might balance this move?
I'm normally not one to debate matchups because "perfectly fair" in historical battles is nearly impossible to achieve and I think the CM's do a great job balancing fun, fair and historical. I fly what I am given and do my best. However, in this case I feel a bit like the Axis side is being punished for our having a successful first frame, which from all accounts had more to do with
tactics, timing and some
luck, rather than the plane matchups.
That said, if the cannon-armed Hurri's were intended to be part of the setup and that is deemed to be a historical and fair matchup, I defer to your judgement.
