Unsure about the MkII being better than a Bf109F, but hey, this is a propaganda film.

I'm with you Mike

With Team Fusion doing version 5 for CLOD hope that the cannons are included, can't imagine the fun to be had by shooting up enemy convoys and tanks!!

As it is with the Hurricane Bomber been having much fun hitting targets over France then getting shot up/down by the flak!!

I think the comparison was probably correctly assessed . The Hurricane in this form was a formidable weapon with 4 X 20mm cannon . Not something you'd wish to meet in any circumstances . The Bf109 was by then getting long in the tooth and being overtaken by the Fw 190 as the Luftwaffe's frontline fighter

Hi Chris,
Agree that you would not want to be on the receiving end of a MkII with those 20mm cannon, but I thought that by that stage, the MkII was being used primarily as a surface attack platform; yes, also as a night fighter, but whether it could dogfight a 109F I'm more doubtful.
I haven't comparatively researched the relative performances of each, so I'd better do some homework.

Homework: thankfully the dog didn't eat it!

Above extracted from a couple of web places, assume they are reasonably accurate. Couldn't get 109F, but found data for the G
