Havent flown IID this TOD

but have killed tigers with the 40mm Vickers S Cannons.

It is a hard plane to get used to.

It will chew Panzers apart, 5-6 kill sorties against MkIVs are easy.

How do we define 'useless'?

 Do the planes that are competitive, but see less/no usage qualify as 'useless'? If in that case:

1) all fighters besides;

 SpitV, SpitIX, N1K2-J - best balanced qualities of maneuverability and speed

 Bf109G-10, Fw190D-9 - best of the numerous variants, assuring survival

 P-51D, Typhoon, P-47D-30, P-38L - best of the variants, and/or best multi-purpose

 La-7 - excellent local A2A engagement machine

 SeafireII, F6F-5 - best and easiest carrier planes

 All the rest of the fighters, are virtually unused in current circumstances.

2) All special role/ground attack aircraft

 Who needs these when a single fighter carries almost double their ordnance?

3) All bombers

 No use at all, except for dealing with CV threats

useless beucose its not able to  full fill  primary duty for  he was design- killing armour

As we know mk2d had universal wing to carry 2x 40mm AT guns or 8x A-G rockets.  So far its good only to destroy light armoured car and truck based carriers. Excluded ostwind.

But same can be done by 20mm equiped planes. Even 0,303 should be able to do it

In AH world hurricane mk2 have no place to show his valuable sides.

Most of all other planes can give you pice of chance to destroy/kill enemy. Hurri , except couple "lucki" examples -  not.

Im wonder what for HTC bother yourself modeling this plane?
Is no purpose for this model to exist.

Kate, val can be explaind as planes need for historical events. Cuz they have historical planeset as oposition.

Hurrican has not. Our panzer is later version, no early PZII, III (and versions). Hit from 500y even not damamge ostwind. (of course here a lot depends from connection)


SO what for he exist? just for be here?

Hurry IID will plonk through the Panzie easily.
Useless, hmmmm, in the MA, Ju87? Kate? Val? Boston? C202? SBD? Spit I? 109E?
In Special arenas or CT? Nothing is useless :)

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

most dont use the 2d correctly.. if you fire all guns at once at a panzer your missing, you will see hit flashes but your cannons will be missing...only fire the cannons and you can take out panzer with 1 or 2 shots easy..30deg angle is best... but stright down is a killer shot..

bish most usless plane ...all except p51 la7 and typhoon

Wow!! how funny you asked!!! just thought about that yesterday evening!!!

Well I'd say the BostonIII and the A20 are very useless.
Low bombload and very vunerable for enemy fire (especially the boston sucks in defensive gunnery)

They are fast tho, but ordnance load is too low.

Also the B5N seems pretty useless to me.

careful, the A20 can out dive and out turn more planes that you'd expect :)

P51s are not the most effective jabo planes. Most carrier based US rides can carry the same or more ordnance to target. F4U-4 best strike A/C in the game bar none IMO in terms of climb, speed, dive and armor.

actually the reason the hurri2d is useless is because its 40mm damage model is porked (10 hits on almost any plane to bring it down...should be closer to 1 or 2) also the 40mm should be firing in unison...the pilots would dive down from about 4k level off point there plane at the enemy tank and shoot 2 pairs of 40mm (guns were angled at 0degrees) then they would break off and go after another tank...


the kate and val are the most useless

Nothing useless about the A20... it carries 4K of bombs, how is that low?  It also has six nose mounted .50s... a lot of guys have found that combination very useful.

A20 is far from useless.

kate might be,but I bounced a guy in it once,dove in,flew under him, opened up on his f4fs belly from 50 yards out.didnt kill him but I stuck on his arse like glue laughing mine off the whole time. :rofl He is using evasive manuevers against a plane with no guns.
