Wow, has this tread been totally derailed.
And there is no Hurri in the game that can catch a 109 at any altitude if the 109 driver decides to disengage. You guys that fly 109s know that.
The only time I have caught a 109 with my Hurri was when I had significant height advantage and turned all that into speed, and even then it is short lived as once the Hurri levels out it's like pushing a barn door through the air. If you are getting caught by Hurris, you are not extending away enough, or have grossly misjudged your and his energy state. Period.
