hurricane problems

Well where do I start?
I have been trying to dogfight in this shed for a few days without CEM, and although I have an idea how to use the prop and mixture etc I cannot stop it from stalling every time I try even the slightest turn.
In quick mission with axis advantage I start with mixture rich and with two position prop in fine pitch and throttle just off the red zone, I initiate a turn towards the bandits and within a second I fall out of the sky and just regain control above the wave tops. From then on I can barely get above 120mph and every time I try to get into a firing position or try to evade I just stall and spin, so all I do is mill around like I'm on a pleasure flight doing only gentle turns with the Messers literaly lining up and taking it in turns to take shots at me. This is so infuriating I'm losing the will to live, there must be a secret to just staying in the air and dogfighting.
In fact in my last fight I gave up and flew home in coarse pitch and mid throttle and even after a couple of minutes I was still barely doing 120mph, in turns ( gentle ones too ) the speed plummets to 80mph and below.
