Sorry Krupi but it doesn't. The only reason I get as many kills as I do is because so many 109 drivers are complacent in my opinion, knowing that even when hit they have a very high chance to run home anyway. They behave predictably so I've learned to position myself accordingly. I am astonished at the rate of turn of some 109 drivers though.

I expect a big change, the gap between Hurricane and 109 in speed and climb should rightly widen and I will find things tougher. Effectively, today, the Hurricane and Spitfire roles are reversed. If the patch isn't utter junk I expect way more 109's to start falling out of the sky to Spitfires, and the Hurricane to become the workhorse.

Exactly. It should just plain out-turn the 109 afaik. http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.o...ricane-109.pdf Point 6 is particularly interesting.


Sorry, OT.
