The date on the card does not mean it is supposed to represent service condition of Hurricanes as in 1941, the plane's still listed with 8 guns. The tare weight increase when compared to the test is 250lb.
The data sheet is available for everyone here. |
The extracted game files shows 427 liters or 94 gallons as max. fuel load, so your data card's figure of 97 gallons is not being used.
The TARE weight of the Hurricane IA Rotol with bullet proof windshield and armour plate used in the RAF test was 4982 lbs/2265 kgs, which is 744 lbs less than the TARE weight of the game aircraft which is listed as 2603 kgs/ 5726 lbs.
