Country:  | No I dont agree. I think the Hurricane was a damn good bomber killer but only because the Spits were handling the 109s. The 109 was just as effective if not better at killing bombers as the Hurricane.

Country: | Okay then I meet you in the sky with my Fw-190D-9 in 1945 and completely out fly you and outshoot you! Dont say no, because you said anytime and everytime.
The Hurricane was outclassed for the most part by 1943.

Country:  | Fw 190A-8/R2 or R8 the Mk 108 Minengeschoss would prove itself superior, of course I guess since it is almost years end we could come up with a fantasy armament .......... think we have done this previously  whoa, too much Glühwein !!

Country: | Okay the Bf-109E clearly was superior to the Hurricane during the BoB and are you really sure that a P-47M would take out a Fw-190D that easily?

Country: | Chris we know that the Mustang did but the P-47 from the 56th fg or the 9th AF units ?? sorry I just cannot confirm nor do I have any type of Dora losses to indicate combat with P-47's.
lets see now
Doras in
several factory protection units
JG 2
IV./JG 3 stab and one staffel but they wer on the Ost front
JG 4 stab
I. and II./JG 6
JG 26
JV 44 Würger staffel - probably was in combat in it's intended role once
at least one staffel and Stab of JG 51 on the Ost front
III./JG 54 before transfer into JG 26
Stab of JG 300
II./JG 301, only P-51's that I am aware of ........

Country: | Have to agree here, the Dora never encountered the P-47M, and as far as I can confirm, never twisted it with the P-47D either... Spits, Tempests and Mustangs...

Country: | Yes but the Hurricane would have been outclassed by the Dora any day and I think that it would have been a much closer fight than you think between the P-47M and the Dora.

Country:  | Yep, the Hurricane wouldn't of stood a chance against the Dora in a dogfight unless the odds were heavily (very) in its favour even then it would find it hard. Would be a much closer fight between the P47M and the Dora as you said Chris, be interesting to see.
