109 E3 cant catch AI hurricanes?

[Bpdslayer]

With realistic CEM settings on, I have difficulties keeping up with AI Hurricanes. My CEM settings are like this: water radiator open, oil rad open, WEP on, throttle full, prop pitch adjusted to keep RPMs between 2100 and 2400.

First question, does anyone face such a problem? Was the E3 slower than the hurricane? Am I doing something wrong, like is there a optimum prop setting for speed? or rpm setting i should keep for speed?

I got frustrated as I couldnt keep up, most of the time, with the hurricanes i was up against in the 'even dogfight' quick mission.

Anyone can give me feed back on what i'm doing wrong?
