Hurricane Roll Rate

[chappy]

Just did a quick comparison, very rough at this time cause i have to head out, but it appears to me that the hurricane's roll rate is significantly lower than it otherwise should be.

i cant garauntee that this isnt caused by some other issue such as controller input, but the fact that i can achieve other roll rates in differnt aircraft suggests that isnt a factor.

For a full 360 roll i'm counting approx 9seconds. giving it a roll velocity of 40deg/sec

compared to the spitfire 1, which is about 5.5 seconds which = roughly 60deg/sec

the 109 is between the 2, coming in at about 6.5 seconds = ~55deg/sec


now from my previous sim time i would have expected the hurricane to be comparable if not slightly better than the spitfire, and obviously the 109. I did a quick search online for roll rate date the only thing i could find in a hurry was this

which suggests comparable roll rates for the spitfire and hurricane. This corroborates with descriptive accounts of ways of evading a BNZ 109 for hurricane pilots from what i understand.
