snip BTW, the Spitfires are nice till you get P51s but the Hurricanes have a turning radius and roll rate that seems to be an advantage in some engagements. I wonder if this reflects real conditions? AFAIR it does, at least prior to the Spits getting metal ailerons (which boosted their roll rate at high IAS). That came in starting as a retrofit on either Mk. IIs or Mk. Vs, I forget which. IIRR, the Hurricane I could out-turn the Spit I at low/medium altitudes, but the Spit had better speed up high so it had a more Ps available up there, where the Hurricane was hanging on a stall while maxed out.
