The German for "fighter" in WW2 was "Jager", but if you translate that back, it comes out "hunter". For the Germans at the time, hunting was stalking big game with a rifle, not the British style of hunting which involved chasing foxes with hounds.

It's a different attitude, and a different style, and the bf 109 fitted the style.

with a completly different objective at the time. if i was defending against a bomber attack i would rather fly the hurri, but attacking (or hunting as they did) i would definitly choose a 109.
