that is a rather mild way of putting it, given the currently modeled CoD hurricane is massively overweight by at least 250 kg and as a result is seriously hampered in its performance...quoted from the information in your other recent post where this was discussed in detail:

This is no surprise to those who like to fly the Hurricane, the game aircraft handles more like a beached whale than the historical aircraft. It is almost impossible to outturn the 109 in it, unlike the historical aircraft, which Werner Molders, the leading German Ace and the father of the Jagdflieger's tactical doctrine, flew personally in a test with included both the Hurricane, Spitfire and Curtiss Hawk against the 109E.
Molders said: "The Hurricane is good-natured and turns well, but its performance is decidedly inferior to that of the Me 109. It has strong stick forces and is "lazy" on the ailerons."
and
Quote: "Before turning fights with the Bf 109 E type, it must be noted in every case, that all three foreign planes have significantly smaller turning circles and turning times...".
In the *CoD* 'Loadout' screen of the game, the Hurricane Rotol (100 oct) is listed as 3311 kgs fully loaded, that is 7284 lbs. But the actual Hurricane IA with Rotol propellor, Bullet proof glass and Armour plating is 6750 lbs or 3068 kgs.
