The Sea Hurricane is a Mk IB/C hybrid, so there will be hangar loadouts for eight 303s or four Hispanos. No rockets though.

I guess HTC just forgot to select an armament option before taking the screenshots.

I hope the 4 20mm option slows the Sea hurri correctly.


But as to the original reason for this thread...

More planes= better planes!

The Sea Hurri has 4x20mm?  That's gonna see a LOT of use in the MA.  :O

I've been thinking, if not perked, it may inadvertently and eventually lower the perk cost of the F4U-1c if the SeaHurri with canons becomes real popular.


Greebo, thanks for your fantastic work and detail.  Compliments on the wide variety and your specific selections of default skins.  (and some shameless sucking up in advance for ).

The amount of ammo in the C-Hog will be the big difference.

and the speed too, surely? I think speed seems to be the the prime draw for a large percentage of players, above and beyond the gun package

The Sea Hurricane Mk IC will probably be inferior to the RAF's Mk IIC. First you have the drag and weight of the tailhook and catapult spools to contend with, much the same as the Seafire vs Spit Mk V.

Also the Sea Hurricane Mk I has the BoB-era single speed supercharged Merlin Mk III, not the two speed Merlin Mk XX as used in the RAF Mk II. Early Sea Hurricane Mk I's had Merlins running at 1030 hp but later on they were boosted to around 1300 hp, probably due to higher octane fuel being available. So I guess a lot will depend on the boost level the Sea Hurricane engine is set to.

Excellent news.  :aok

Im so glad that HTC has answered a long standing request (from a few here) to have the Sea Hurricane in AH. Also the Hurricane IIB was a very widely used variant as well, serving in Burma and N. Africa, also a great choice.

The Hurricane IID never really impressed me, its a niche model that saw limited use and im glad to see its not the only other variant.

:salute HTC
