You can aim for the radiator on the Hurricane. I don't know whether damaging it is modeled in the game, but it certainly makes me feel better. The best place to aim on the Hurricane is definitely the fuel tank (right behind the engine), because even if you miss the fuel tank, you'll probably hit the engine or the pilot. And they really do light up easily...no armour around the fuel tank. I've taken down 2 or 3 Hurricanes that way in one sortie after running out of cannon ammo in the 109E (offline of course!). Don't fire at 0 angle-off once you've given the radiator a few hits. Wait until they turn.
