As for a Va, I've found an old mod some of the Russian guys did. It needs some fixing but I'll see what I can do. Same for the Hurricane IIA.
Sorry, not being argumentative just honestly curious as I have little detailed information of the flying qualities of the MkII as opposed to the MkI.
What would the new FM require? As I understand it the only difference was empty-equipped and take off weight, which was almost precisely compensated by the more powerful Merlin fitted. MkI and II should be pretty much the same, except maybe a very slight adjustment in turn (initial climb rate, but not sustained climb or time to altitude). According to what I have the difference was so minor a pilot would never notice, except for the benefits of having extra armour and self sealing tanks. I think this was the thing most en par with the E-4 (as it is much more heavily armoured than the Vb in game and historically had started featuring much improved armour from the E-1/B and E-3 variants), being that was also the Emil version which standardised self sealing tanks iirc on both those counts.
