Any chance that we can have....

Any chance of a Sea Hurricane now that the Hurricane has been modeled?  

Also, how about some float planes?  That would just be so cool!   :)

Float planes and flying boats would be nice addition but there should be a reason to fly them.
Why should HTC waste time for something ppl would not use?

Historically they were used for patrol, transport and ship/sub hunt duties but in AH there's already loads of planes which have better ability to do those jobs with better chances to survive.
Thought Do-24 sure looks pretty  :)

With the current strategy system I do see a reason for floatplanes.  The Catalina would be exceptional if allowed to transport resupplies or whatever.  I think it could have its use.

Yeah! PBY's with depth-bombs and those little acoustic homing torps they had back then. That would be nice   :D

Floatplanes would definately have a niche if allowed to fly from ports.

S!

Hurricane IIC should be enabled to fly off Carriers.  Sea Hurricane II was identical except for tailhook.  No strengthening of the undercarriage or other modifications were nessesary.
