What has been everyone's experience with Hurricane's in a turn fight with a 109? I was given to believe that the Hurricane could do well in this situation, but it seems that all I get for trying it is a loss of speed with the 109 happily making high g turns with me.

Now, I don't use flaps in the turn because the Hurricane's flaps aren't true combat flaps and I don't believe they were ever used in this way. Is that the problem? Do I need to start using the flaps that way?
