Why do Spitfires turn better than Hurricanes?!

I have many books too, but it's not absolute academia that will give us answers. The turning performance of an aircraft is affected by many things:

1)aeroplane related: wing design, wing load, aeroplane weight, power plant, propeller, aerodynamic features.

2)environment related: mainly altitude (air humidity and temperature are negligible)

3)piloting related: pilot's general skill, pilot's specific skills on the machine, testing skills.

an aeroplane is like a short blanket: you can have an edge on something but it will affect something else.

The Spit had the edge in maneuverability because of the fantastic elliptical wing design, but it was an extremely flimsy and delicate wing structure which couldn't take much damage.

No offense, but I'm not gonna write an essay, post charts and stuff jsut to convince you or prove that I'm right, because it will have no effect on the game (unless you're a dev, but you're not), so it would be a waste of time.

..then what's the point of your original message?
I am ready to hear any opinion and vouch for it or not, but it will need a thing called reliable evidences to support it.
