What was I doing wrong? I obviously made a mistake, because the Hurricane was notorious for being slow, and sluggish, like a grand-piano with a Merlin.
Thanks in advance.

Hurri's vertical speed is quite good. Its top speed is'nt.
I've measured in actual state of CoD some 2600 ft/min and BF109 E3 700 m/min (2300 ft/min), therefore Hurri may catch you in a vertical climb at reduced speed.
How accurate the models are compared to reality, this needs to be checked and it might change.
