This is getting so frustrating to get any plane in the game that can compete what the heck. I don't care what you call me this is really up setting. to now fight an even harder fight against the 109s. which just need a boost not a dumbing of the British planes. Bring back the head shake and plane shine and I will at least fly the sim offline for the scenery.

If you are going to try to argue a point from logic, you are not allowed to ignore FACTS. If the developers are indeed using FACTS, you know, like actual numbers written on actual paper and stuff, and the FACTS of the historical evidence line up with the FACTS of the games measurable performance then maybe our argument has to be adjusted to suit the FACTS not the other way around. Just saying.

As for the development team......

Great news! I knew you could do it. Methinks I shall blow the dust off my 'ole CLod.

Here are some facts by Hans Wind:

The easiest one to shoot down of the enemy fighters is the Hurricane. It is totally helpless against us below 3,000 meters. It is slow and very clumsy and unmanoeuvrable. Whenever you meet a Hurricane, engage it in a turn-fight, where it is totally at our mercy. It is best to shoot this plane in the forward part of the fuselage when it almost immediately bursts into flames.

"The Hurricane and Spitfire are slow and clumsy fighters at low altitudes. They seek dogfights at high altitudes (over 5,000 m.) where their characteristics are extremely good. Used these days as night-fighters by the enemy. The Spitfire is faster than the Hurricane."
