Now, I don't use flaps in the turn because the Hurricane's flaps aren't true combat flaps and I don't believe they were ever used in this way. Is that the problem? Do I need to start using the flaps that way?

I believe that issue has been brought up before, the Hurricane is a bit of a slow turner, it should turn faster then the Spit, but that's not the case in CoD. So that's something to look at for the devs as well.

I dont actually think our 109 is fast enough you know but I havent really looked to hard at it, seeing as all the data for all aircraft is to be addressed. At sea level I can only get around 460Kmh. Wasnt it supposed to be 550

BF109 level speed is about 500 kmh from various tests on Max recommended output at
1.35 ATA. If you go up to 5000m you can reach maximum speed of ~570 kmh.
The Spit MK1 could reach 505 kmh with 12 lbs/sq.in of boost on the deck according to spitfireperformance.com ( this is with 100 octane fuel ) otherwise only 455 kmh could be reached with 6.25 lbs/sq.in. Top speed at 3500 was 575 kmh. All from that site.
