+1 Couldn't agree more its time to update this bird and the addition of the Sea Hurricane would also be a big plus.

The MK1 is a beautiful plane.  My ride for this tour and 1/2 of last.
Would love to see it in a carrier version.

+1 :aok

You know the guy is still hearing that 2 second burst into the cockpit.  Got to grin and love the lag when that happens :D

If only I could have replaced 12x303 with 2x0.5 and plenty of ammo. When a fighter needs 12 of something (except cylinders perhaps), you know it is just not right.

Even better if lag is so high you  kill  him a second time on rwy trying to take off again :P
