The reason no one flew the Hurricane was because it was 534 lbs overweight, stalled like a pregnant whale, and couldn't outturn the 109's unlike the historical aircraft. Even now most people prefer the Spitfire because of its better speed.

If you have a problem with the Spit DM, then I would suggest you provide proof and make it known.
This argument has no relevance to the issue of the use of these Tungsten rounds and whether or not that is accurate.
