No, it's because their depiction in the game was simply incorrect.

Now I know where this will go. You will ask "Have you ever flown a Hurricane in real life?"

No, but here is the real shocker, neither has Luthier. For all we know he has only been around the pattern in a clapped out Yak 52 that couldn't get an airworthiness certificate anywhere in the West, and based his tacho needle hi-jinks on some worn out ex-Soviet trainer.

We have heard from real Spit and Hurri pilots who say that the needles don't bounce around like they did in the sim, but damn, we are all knowing flight simmers and can't ever take the word of real pilots, because, well, because we can't.
