Why would i speak to luftwaffe pilots??? so they can tell me how it was to fly AGAINST?? that is not what we are talking about, we are talking about how adequate it was at its job and how you seem to be very anti hurricane. Its kind of freaky if anything. Rather worrying. Are you on medication? maybe you should be!!
It was simply a case of giving the hurricane a little more credit. Not you going off on one and spitting your dummy out.
Forget anythign you have learned or written about, the simple fact remains that the hurricane was good enough in 1940 battle of britain. If your talking absolete by then, then i suggest looking at the fairely battle or the paul defiant!!! THEY were obsolete in 1940.

You are hopeless. Why would you talk to Luftwaffe pilots? Because if you want to know how anything performs in combat, you need to also talk to the people that have gone against it. Once again, you totally disregarded what I was saying in an effort to make yourself feel better about your Hurricane fetish. I talk about it being the pilots that make the plane, you go back again about the Hurricane. You disregard the facts presented to you whenever convenient. If the developer of the plane said it was obsolete but adequate, the pilots of the plane said it was obsolete but adequate, the pilots that flew against it said it was obsolete but adequate, then exactly how is your completely underinformed opinion supposed to be more valuable than theirs? Twice in one day you have completely gone off track on what I said. If you can't read what I said about planes vs pilots and comprehend it then your reading comprehension problem is exactly that, your problem. You don't know what you're talking about and you're willing to defend that position all the way to the ground. Maybe you should start by getting a dictionary. Obsolete does not mean inadequate kid. The Stuka was obsolete by the start of the war, but it was adequate and was produced throughout the war. The Fairey Swordfish was obsolete by the start of the war, but it was adequate. The Hurricane was obsolete by the start of the war, but it was adequate. The pilots are what made them adequate. Yet, you seem to lack even a basic understanding of that and are just waiting to make another comment about your Hurricane fetish, desperately hoping that you'll be right somewhere amongst the BS. First, learn to read, then, get a dictionary before you make another inane comment about a subject you obviously know very little about. You know a few things about 1 single plane, that isn't exactly a qualified knowledge of aerial combat in WW II.
