| The P40 was right at home in the lower realms and I would think in head to head held the advantage in combats |

 | With PB, I think the P-40 was better and more rugged than the Mc. 202. |

  | I was just reading in Combat Aircraft of World War II and it mentions the Mc 202 as "..achieving complete superiority over the Hurricane and P-40" This actually surprises me due to the lite armament the Mc 202 carried. I'm kinda leaning towards the Mc 202.
