How about reading comprehension?


He didn't say hurricat. He said sea hurricane. The hurricat was a dilapidated Hurr1 stuck on a rocket and ditched when done. A sea hurricane was a plane refitted with arrestor gear and the equipment for CV operations.

There's a difference. :aok

Late-model Firefly edges out the MW Judy in performance as to top speed, ammo load, and heavier guns, but Japanese plane-set needs a lot more help in general, and for PTO SEA even more.

I would request at the very least though that the sea hurricane be added when the hurri is eventually overhauled.


I agree with you mate perhaps carrier scout plane soemthing of that sort:aok

not all sea hurricnes were hurricats. Hurricat was a special version created for merchant marine defense.

plus it would be virtually useless, it was armed with 8 .303's, may kill some troops and scratch your paint but not much else.

the tanks failed for a number of reasons.

the sea was very rough and they were droped off too early and too far from land,also the tanks tried to swim across the current instead of with it so soon become swamped and sank.

mmmmm  more sea planes would be sweet.

How about we turn on formations for CV based bombers... and actually make it so they can dive bomb and climb out without losing the drones

i saw a show on either the Histroy or Military channel that said the orders for the tanks to not be sent in never made it, thus the rough waters sunk them.

We held a vote.  No one wanted an Italian plane that was well liked at the time, and reportedly preformed better than most, if not all, similar German 109's, and had 3 x 20mm cannons with a large ammo load out.  And b-be guns.  It was called the G.55 and it lost out in the very first round of voting.  Just too uber I suppose.... would have been a threat to all the lgays, splixteens, runstangs, and niki-hos in the game.   Would have been a threat to bombers too.  Can't have that.
