I got the sense that no one was complaining about the Hurricane's performance relative to the 109s. Now, suddenly, we have people coming out of the woodwork to say 'yes! Nerf that UFO Hurricane!'

I guess we wait and see.

Like always in flights sim it's difficult to say that "this plane is better/worse than IRL" when the typical engagements and conditions are not met in the sim, i.e. RAF fighters vectored by radar, squadrons engaging the escort to free the way for others, large number of planes and people flying in pairs/groups etc...

Given the right conditions Hurricanes were perfectly capable of holding their own against 109s, but you'll read as well many reports of Hurricanes pilots being always jumped by 109 flying high and feeling impotent...
