But I admit, it's been a while.

Agreed. The Hurricane was notable as a stable gun platform when compared to the Spitfire. I should note, that any significant loss of wing in CloD that I've had while in a Spitfire has resulted in a spin from which no recovery was possible. I've only ever been able to fly the Hurricane in such a state (and with a lot of work at that).

Also, the Hurricane's wing is rather thick near the fuselage. I believe it creates a significant amount of lift there. I've no idea what exactly is going on with the flight model, but it's believable enough for me. Strikes that line between real and fun. I know it's a simulation and as such FULL real is supposed to be fun, but there's no way they can make it FULL real short of shipping an invitation to come out and fly a real Hurricane at Duxford in the software box. So they get as close as they can and hopefully it's fun.

I honestly haven't studied the 109 in enough detail to know what roughly how it might perform without pieces of its wing/tail assembly. I believe their wings are much thinner and might cause more problems in such situations though.
