That's why the Hurricane had a Direction Indicator you fucking dingus.

The P-8 was a very effective compass that was perfect for complex course following (not something you ever do in IL2). It is meant for head down navigation (or being used by a navigator like in the Mosquito) and setting the direction indicator for the quick course indication on the instrument panel your walnut brain wants.

Later British aircraft also had a smaller and more simple repeater compass (with an adjustable course line like the P-8) on the instrument panel.
