900 rounds of 20mm?

The 20mm equipped Hurricane? Hispanos?

I was under the impression that the hurricanes used during the BoB were equipped with .303's because they were more reliable?

If it's a quad hispano laser turning Ho bird, i ain't too sure whether I like it or not.

RAF gets the oldest, slowest fighter in the game.
Luftwaffe gets the fastest, only jet jet fighter in the game.
Luftwaffles whine about RAF plane

StSanta, that wasn't meant as an attack on you. I've always found your posts to have been made in good humour. I'm just a bit anoyed after seeing the aircraft to expect in 1.08. Sorry to single you out.

Wh00p! Don't see how you can have a WW2 flight sim without a Hurri. I'm very glad it's here. Does it have Cdn markings?

Good god... if they give the Canucks a plane; I may have to quit!

Santa.. worry not... yer Jet will have 4 30's vs the kites 4 20's; and fly twice as fast.

The hurri is at a slight disadvantage vs the jet, but I'd still HO yer bellybutton in it.

You can make many variants off that Hurri, too. It's a good choice, and those who wish for early war should rejoice. You can't have early war until you have early war planes. This is a step in that direction, even if it is the C this time.

hurri only has 90 rounds per gun

karnak thinks they were just testing airframe on n1k2 fm

StSanta: the Hurricanes used in BoB were Mk I.

The Mk II was made as a fighter-bomber, since the Hurricane was obviously inferior in performance to German fighters.

It had a more powerful engine(Merlin XX), all-metal wings and the ability to carry 2x500lb bombs or 8x60lb rockets.

4 different gun packages were fitted to the Mk II:

a: 8x.303in
b: 12x.303in
c: 4x20mm(early ones had Oerlikon type cannon, later ones had the Hispano Mk I)
d: 2x40mm Vickers "S" cannon + 2x.303in(for aiming assistance)

It has a blistering top speed of 328mph at 18,000ft - and takes over 9 minutes to climb to 20,000ft.

dont like to have another CHOG on the game. Let em make 2 entries on the game, the 12X .303 as non perked and the chogspanno armed one as a cheap perk.

If you thought chog was bad, wait till this slow, highly manouverable, dime-turning plane points and click kills you.

Gawd AH definetely is a double edged sword.

Me262? I like it. I can now see all the 500mph dweebs making pass after pass after pass on a zeke and ending up being bounced by a high alt p51/p47.. mwahahahahahha.
