I looked it up..... top spped of a Hurricane is 325 MPH.
Top speed of a Spitfire Mk.II. is 357 MPH.
Top speed of a Bf-109 E is 383 MPH.
The HUrricane has 0.303" (7.62mm.) medium machine guns, not 0.50" (12.7mm.) heavy machine guns
The Hurricane has armour protecting the pilot and fuel tanks.
The La-7 carries no armour protection.
I'd bet on the Hurricane.
The Yak also has no armour protection and is made of plywood and bicycle spokes.
The Hurricane has the advantage of being designed by an Englishman (Sidney Camm) and being British made.
My money's still on the Hurricane.
If we're also talking of a Finnish pilot in the Hurricane versus a Russian pilot in a La-7 / Yak well......
I'd bet the house on the Hurricane.
