Fair point about the IR missiles, but if they fail, there's always Radar guided.....


Anyway, back to the topic.... Mossie would win, purely because its cooler. And as for it being more vunerable to cannon shells due to the wood construction.... correct me if i'm wrong, but I thought that durin the BOB, Hurricanes were found to have excellent durability against the 109's cannons, as the shells tended to pass through the wood without detonating (as often)?
What exactly are the radar guided missiles supposed to lock onto? Wood & canvas doesn't have that great a radar return, and I'm not sure if the engine would provide enough of a return to lock onto.
