I agree the Hurri 2c is a very deadly aircraft. In fact ion the war it had a better kill/death ratio then Spitfires whom get all the glory.

The only disadvantages it his IMO are the low ammo load out and it's kinda slow. If I flew nothing but the Hurri 2 I bet I'd have a much better K/D ratio because I have no problems at all pulling 4 and 5 kills a sortie in that plane.

In no way is the H2 sub-par as the other poster stated. If he thinks it's sub par he just dunno how to fly it. Then again I'm of the opinion that the Hurri 1 is the best plane in the game and it only shoot's BB's.

the only true dweebs are those who blame aircraft type or weapon loadout for their demise!

F4U-1c =  good vulcher/town killer.
Tempest = Uber speed so i don't die(:aok )
109K4 = only 65 shots it's not a dweeb ride.
Ki-84 = 2 20mm's 300 rounds it's good turn fighter. Rounds shoot out fast.
LA7 = even though i think they suck it's the best plane to bust an NOE mission.

As far as I'm concerned the only "dweeb" ride is the Temp. Every other plane can be easily killed.

No such thing as a cannon dweeb, I can understand Spitdweeb but nobody cares bout spitfires anymore since they get shot down quite easily,  only thing I hate is La7's its the pilots that make the plane good, its fact im stupid to be outa ammo or low when I get chased down by

Actually it seems to me all the dweebs have switched to nikki's. LA7's don't bug me near as much as they used to.

10% of the La7's virtual pilots should.   Anytime you wish to see what an La7 can do, I'll go to the DA with you.

LilMak,

Couple points.

1) The US Navy didn't say one M2 20mm hit was equivilient to three Browning .50 hits, they said one M2 20mm cannon was equivilent in effective firepower to three Browning .50s.

2) One Hispano 20mm instalation weighs significantly less than a triple Browning .50 instalation.

3) The Hispano and Browning are both abnormally heavy guns compared to other WWII aircraft guns like the German MG151/20 20mm, Japanese Ho-5 20mm and Ho-103 12.7mm and Russian B-20 20mm.  You could put in six Ho-5 20mms and only gain a slight amount of weight over six Browning .50s.

(Incidentially, the Ho-5 and Ho-103 are both derivitives of the Browning .50 that the Japanese modified to be lighter and take different cartridges).
Petals floating by,
      Drift through my woman's hand,
             As she remembers me-
