I know this isnt alot to go by, But in Flight Sims I found it very hard to controll, But the hurricane was easy. Just wondering why the spitfire get's all the credit

Its because the Hurricane was phased out to secondary roles due to its older design quite early on while the Spit was further improved. Allot more Spits were built than Hurricanes.
A simple trip to Wikipedia will answer your questions and give you some more accurate facts

Thats odd as Geoffrey Quill and Eric Brown both agreed that the Mk XII was the nicest of all Spits to fly
