We need the Hurricane MK II D with dual 40mm cannons. Since the ground war got a major boost, it only stands to reason we could use some more dedicated anti-tank planes.

I'll bite.
It WOULD be cool if we had it!

Hehe. Requesting a plane we already have. It's a new approach at least.

Anyway, we do have the Hurri II-D, but the 40mm's fire sequentially instead of in a synchronous manner. The result is that the recoil actually sends the plane yawing left and right while firing, making aiming very difficult at best.

I believe that historically the cannons both fired at once, so I'd like to see that in AH.

Got the wrong model, meant the MkIV with the Merlin 24/27 engines and low-attack wings. But since we've already have the II D, I guess another 40mm Hurricane would be redundant. I guess I have to check out the plane set beyond the P-38 and Stuka

Might I suggest the 109G6 and the A-20g?

The Hurri IId is currently completey uneffective against anything.

Rounds bounce off pnzr IV's and tigers.

Probably the only thing it is useful against is maybe the M8, but why bother? Easier ways of killing m8s.

The M-8 has 3 kills and has been killed 2 times against the Hurricane IID.

That little 50 on the top of the M8 is quite deadly,same for the m3s. Same for the various pintle and hull gun 30s. I got 2 spit kills and a 3rd one smoking last week with my panzers pintle gun both maybe about 12-20 hit sprites total and the damaged one about 8 times. In my stuka or ju88 I can light a con up for long seconds and hell fly away merrily

what we really need is the 37mm on the stuka.

then it would be a true ground attack platform.

maybe an ammo loadout option where if you take the 37mm you cant have the 1800kg bomb just a 1000k or something like that.

oh well my 2¢

This is what we really need to go tank plinking:
