SeaHurricane and Hurricane Mk IIB
« on: November 23, 2011, 02:34:59 PM »
In a previous thread I posed the question why these birds were not added in game, so I will make a separate post for both, basically the Sea Hurricane and Hurri Mk IIB were instrumental to the war and should be added in game.

Specifications on the SeaHurricane:
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
Total Built as Sea Hurricane IB: 290






Now the reason I bring up the Hurri Mk IIB is because it was introduced May of 1941, and would be a nice gap filler after BoB, sure most would probably
fly the Hurri-C, however for Scenarios and Snapshots the Hurri-B or even SeaHurri would be instrumental.

Think of adding the Swordfish and Hurri B with a Brit carrier, ideas could be endless :)

Amazing you could actually recruit that much suck into one squad.
