Sea Cane IIC

Better in what regard? More historically significant arguably but normal length wings and slats + no spoilers = boring.

I'll admit, I'm quite ignorant when it comes to the accomplishments of British CV groups in WW2 and their impact, but the 109E7 did see a lot of action in both the BoB and in operation Barbarossa, both significant military operations in ww2.

I'm not arguing against the E-7, if the improved engine and provision for a droptank etc. are the only significant changes to the E-4 then it could be as economical an addition as some of the P-47 variants we got, I'm definitely be in favour of more early war variants.

I'm also not disagreeing with the point that Guppy's driving at, of course he's right. I'm just saying that the 109T would be different and fun, from the flight simulation and combat aspects of the game.

I'm not against the 109T-2 at all, I just think its a much harder sell considering there are other planes with much more relevancy that are missing. That being said, I think the focus should be on more Japanese planes such as the Oscar (ki-43) etc.. which were produced in much greater numbers than either the 109T or the OPs wish.

Once you've set the late war super-competitive monster plane Wishlist faction aside (which seems to be running out of things to request anyway), that leaves the 'historical significance' faction and the 'not necessarily significant but interesting and entertaining' faction.

I think both should be considered when deciding what to include. But I think it is mute point anyway, given the rate at which new aircraft are included.

Well sometimes topics wander into related areas and that is probably healthy too. I have made my comments regarding the Sea Hurricanes also. Best of luck with your request.

Bruv119,

One of the general rules of this forum is that there cannot be a thread about a British airplane that does not become a discussion/request for a German airplane.

i agree with sea hurrie but not the cannoned version i like the 8 303s and if its fuel injected i will have a new low and slow tnb hurrie of death. the mk1 gets annoying when you pull negitive gs but i love the plane. +1 for the sea hurrie we need more naval aircraft period

personnaly , too slow for carrier ops

God forbid we segway into a related and relevent area of discussion.

That picture is of Seafires or Spitfires.  Not a Hurri in it.

ah your right... ok 1 bad pic for 3 good ones







oh, one more.

[Fish42]

Now I am not saying they should be added but they where still in active service well into 44. Wildcats did not replace them on HMS Nairana until September 1944.

I personally would love to have the IB and the Canadian 12gun hurries. But saying that the IIc meet all HTCs needs for inclusion.

[Karnak]

How much action did they see?  Were they relegated to escort carriers on the Atlantic convoy routes where they saw little action or were they seeing significant combat?

In my opinion, the most significant British carrier aircraft by far was the Seafire Mk III of which 1200 were built, far more than all of the Sea Hurricanes combined and almost 1000 more than the Seafire Mk II we have.  The last dogfight of WWII was between A6M5s and Seafire Mk IIIs.

However, it is not 'politically correct' to ask for a Spitfire variant on these forums, so....

[Fish42]

thats pretty active for a squad of 6 planes.

On 31 December 1943, the squadron transferred to the escort carrier HMS Nairana, returning ashore at RNAS Hatston and RNAS Machrihanish (HMS Landrail) in January 1944. Most of 1944, however, was spent onboard Nairana, on Atlantic convoy duties and on the Gibraltar Run. The squadron also served in 1944 with a successful submarine Hunter-Killer Group in the North Atlantic under the overall command of Captain Frederick Walker. In May–June 1944, three Ju 290s were shot down.[7] In August 1944, the squadron became involved in the Murmansk Convoys to and from RNAS Hatston, where it faced the most dangerous flying conditions of the war, and attacked two U-Boats and shot down four enemy aircraft

thats 835 NAS^
