more Royal Navy
« on: November 20, 2011, 11:12:44 AM »
just wish we had a broader carrier plane set.
I would love to see:
Fairey swordfish, fulmar, barracuda
Blackburn firebrand & even a sea hurricane.

I was going to ask how come we didn't have the SeaHurricane, here's some stats

Escort Carrier fighter
Engine: Rolls Royce Merlin III
Power: 1,030hp
Crew: 1
Wing span: 40ft
Length: 31ft 4in
Height: 12ft 11.5in
Normal Loaded Weight: 7,410lb
Max Speed: 317mph at 15,000ft
Cruising Speed:
Time to 20,000ft: 11 minutes
Service Ceiling: 34,200ft
Range: 505 miles
Armament: Eight 0.303in Browning machine guns
Bomb-load: none
Naval equipment: Naval radio set, A-frame arrestor hook, catapult spools


Nothing special about it, however quite a few kills were recorded from the Sea Hurricane, it would be a nice edition as would adding with the Hurricane Mk IIB (Hurricane IIA Series 2).

Hurri IIB comes equipted with 12 0.303in machine guns, and could carry either two 250lb or two 500lb bombs.

It would be nice to have both :)

we dont have enough spits ingame yet, because the Seafire Mk.III is missing :rolleyes:



edit: it would also be very simple add, just model the merlin 55M performance, tweak the existing Mk.II model and its done.

We dont have the sea hurricane.

Therefore, the sea hurricane should hold a higher priority then the seafire.

How about the "clipped wing" version of the F4U flown by the Brits?  :airplane:

Would it roll like the Spixteen?  :joystick:
