In fact, I used to prefer the Spit over the Hurricane, but this game is beginning to change my mind.
On that, I spoke to a RAAF veteran who flew during the Battle of Britain, and he swore blind that the Hurricane was better than the Spit in almost every regard. Besides the obvious factors of wide wheel base etc. he swore it was faster (?!), far more maneuverable and that most RAAF and RAF pilots greatly preferred it to the Spit. Any idea if that sweeping generalisation has any truth to it?

They both have good and bad points. I guess the pilots defended and so prefered the plane they flew whether it was a Spit or a Hurri. Even if a Hurri pilot got to fly a Spit for one day, he might still say "Its very nice but i prefer the hurricane" through his allegiance to the Hurricane.
A modern day aquivelent would be someone praising the model of car they have.
Or like fanboys defending their games console 360 v PS3. PS3 is more powerful but is it better? Thats debatable. Same with Spit V Hurri.
