In reality they do look like flying light sabers.

Some people did describe them as more like points, or fireballs as you say. But generally the consensus seemed to be that they only look like points when they are being fired out of a barrel you are looking down, so that the round is not moving much laterally to you. When seen from the side (someone else firing, or a gun in your wing or well underneath you in the nose,) they turn more or less into bars, though often with the front of the "bar" being brighter than the tail.

Now I am not speaking from personal experience so please feel free to correct me, I am simply summarizing the conclusions come to in other threads.
The "bar" is not brighter in the front than at the tail.
They have the same brightness for their entire apparent length.
The tracers in Cliffs of Dover look very good.
The only complaint that I have as they appear too fat when close.
Of course, that would all depend on ambient light conditions.

Yes. The blackout.
No lights were allowed at all. Not just during air raids.
Curtains had to be closed, and light proofed.

I'll repost the link Hecke posted earlier.

Lots of videos here at the Russian Sukhoi forum (this is the second page):

Am I the only one noticing the really obvious looping of the external G50 engine sound?

I didnt notice that, but the sound itself is one of the best I've heard so far.

No, that Hurricane should've immediately pitched up, stalled, and spun into the ground. There is no possible way that removing the engine would not also move the C.G. so far aft as to become uncontrollable. This is true even with today's lighter engines and shorter nosed GA aircraft. It's doubly true for a heavy-engined, long-nosed WWII fighter.

Agree... only way that hurricane could be flyable is if it had a modern flight control system
