Hurricane MkIIB

[Squire]

It should be added as an SEA Event a/c. The Hurricane IIB saw a lot of action (NW Europe, Burma, Med). That and the Sea Hurricane Mk.I with a hook would be great.

Not a fan of the Hurricane IV, limited use in N. Africa, hardly anybody uses it in the MA as a GV buster (I see more Lancs than Hurri IVs for anti GV work).

A 12x303 HO at convergence would still be as good as a killshot..

Eh, I expect a HOing contest with a German 20mm bird would result in a 109/190 with a smoking engine/pierced radiator and a Hurri likely destroyed, or at least missing flight surfaces. Unless those .303s went straight into the German plane's cockpit. In any case, I think the probability of a loss or Pyrrhic victory for the Hurri would be enough to greatly reduce the Honk&HOs.

I think the only player who'd not avoid a HO with a IIB would most likely be the clueless newbie who thinks that losing just 1 part (and soaking up damage on half a dozen others) is negligible.. The only safe zone in a HO against a 12x303 would probably be 1.5 to 1K out, where 303s don't seem to have much hitting power.  Anything closer is begging for a wound and/or lots of soft parts.

Many (most?) pilots took off the outer four guns as they had too negative an impact on the Hurri's performance.
