Beat me to it Guppy!

Although I will add: Most Sea Hurricanes were conversions on already-war-weary airframes. Many had de-rated engines with reduced output. Some even had the negative G cutoff, if I recall. It would be, in essence, a slightly less manuverable, slightly more heavy, Hurr1, but with an arrestor hook.

Don't get me wrong I think it might have a place for limited scenario use, etc....

I just think folks wish for this like they wish for a P-51A, because they think it'll have massive HO-power (4x hizzos), when really it wouldn't.

The SeaHurricane has a pretty nice war record, one of the reasons I posted about it is if HTC is going to upgrade the hurricane anytime soon (graphic wise) by adding the IIB and SeaHurri it would certainly fill out the set list for the aircraft.

I recall a few kills were over Malta, some even flew during D-day so it goes to show the SeaHurri were still flying late in the war. I've always been interesting in seeing an Indian Ocean Raid Scenario, basically its Albacores, Hurris and Fulmars against the standard early war Japanese Lineup.

Of course we don't have the albacore or Fulmar's,  still its one of those forgotten "skirmishes" people dont know about.

I thought the Bf109T-2 had longer wings and also spoilers. That'd be fun to fly.

Agreed~I refrained from lobbying for the vastly more relevant P-47D-22/23 in this seahurri thread, so can you :D

Yes you're right, it's a disgraceful.  :old:

I found these pictures of a *cough* Sea Hurricane on a modelling site:









The leading egde slats were also longer too. Spoilers might put an end to all that tiresome ACM as well, you could just Top Gun anyone on your six with one button press  :banana:

Yes I'm sorry, it got sidetracked into obscure carrier aircraft.

Carry on!

Not interested in voting on the Sea Cane IIC but SeaCane IIB I would certainly be interested in, 12 browning 303s would be more fun ;)

12x 303s? lol  Why not let players choose load out options? Butcher could bb his opponents and everyone else could use 20mms.  :aok

Find sources for the IIB is difficult.

Actually, I think this thread would be more appropriately entitled Sea Hurricane IC - they took a Hurri I frame, gave the IIc 4 cannon wing and a Merlin XX.  It is a valid wish - they made over 250 of these models between early 42 and summer 43 and they saw plenty of service. 

One thing I also noted from looking around was that these were equipped with 8 rockets and did anti-submarine patrols as well.

I actually posted the source twice for IIB and IIC carrier and land versions.
