No worries, I understand. Using angles tactics against a Hurricane is OK but risky if you meet a good pilot. What I said is that Hurri is not much better at it (my experience and observation) as it's very sluggish at controls, especially rudder and ailerons. Matter of preference, at angles, all depends on how the pilot uses his machine, Hurricane is capable, no doubt.
Using energy tactics is good move at anytime if you know what you're doing. Matter of opinion perhaps and also, I usually try to BnZ the 109s, but even if bounced myself, it is possible to recover and reverse the situation quite often, that was my point. In any situation, you really need to outfly the 109 pilot in order to be succesful as he's got better performing aircraft.

Absolutely!

Just like they use the E-4 at the moment, using good team tactics (and swarming airfields in low alt as the AAA is harmless) and in good numbers. 4 guys decimating the Allied side hands down already. Add few kids vulching (alambash!
) and you get the everyday ATAGesque picture.
I am not saying I agree with the Mk.IIa. But if the Emils at least bother to gains some alt fearing the Mk.II before they aproach the English coast, I am happy. You don't see many Blue pilots up high because they don't need to atm.
