Turn fighters are really dangerous in Enlisted, the total air battle area is too small for speedybois to truly benefit from better acceleration and higher top speed, especially if you loose a bit too much energy. If you get too slow, the Hurricane WILL kill you. And it takes surprising little to get slow enough in most planes in the game. (Plus a lot of pilots don’t seem to realise it is legal to do vertical loops instead of just horizontally pissing away all their energy)
Cannon Spitfire would like a word 
For just cleaning up air it’s definitely the best out there. Just fast enough to basically chase anything down, with more engine power, turns like a biplane, the guns will shred any plane and you can rack up vehicle kills with top down attacks too
