They are not as bad as the Spitfires, who start to have the bug at 9000 ft, but in my experience the Hurricanes cannot compete with the 109's up high.
well, yeah pretty sure...maybe its not really a outrunning and outclimbing, but it seems to be at least as fast as the 109 at ~6000meters+it turns way better(correct)...i will test this with a squadmate from our No501 squadron....below 5000m the 109 is definitely faster, but it loses power with every meter.i cant say exactly which alt it was when i had 2fights yesterday against 100octane hurricanes, but it was above 5000m.i assume it was close to 6000m.
