A few minutes ago a Hawker Sea Fury made a low alt fly over near my house. I couldn't get any pics because the owner never makes more than one pass. It looks kinda like this.

This airplane was seen trying to give chase but no dice. No little yellow, very cool I must add, homebuilt is going to chase down a Sea Fury.

lmao!!!:rofl
oh to have a sea fury ingame,
-

(although i've been asking for over 2 years)
-
Can't have a Sea Fury unfortuneately, initial flight wasn't until 1946 :( .
Although this bad boy would be nice -
Spitfire F.21

Nope. Never saw Combat in WWII. It did shoot down Mig's in Korea though with quite resolve.

The F.21 did see combat in WWII Karaya, it was operational with No 91 Squadron in January 1945.

the mk21 would be sweet. they'd have to perk it hugely haha
it was laminar flow though wasnt it? and without incremental flaps i imagine the turning performance severly suffered.

The Hawker Fury did, not the Sea Fury.

It's all good Furry. I'd just hate to see this WWII sim, turn into a Korean War sim.

I would love to see this sim turned into a pheonix missile slinging Tomcat Sim.

Can I be your reo?

Thought it was Radar Intercept Operator/Officer? :) We called em WSOs in the USAF..Weapons Systems Operator.

Oh boy....just what we need...another super plane, and worse yet ANOTHER SPIT????????
Why.......... why would anyone even make the suggestion(sobs uncontrolably)....now HT will read this and put one in the game....along with the 6 cannon......2000rnd....drop tank........ 500 MPH at 10,000 ft version of the LA I hear their working on.
I agree with Morph ( takes stiff drink ) lets just put some F16's and tomcats in here and be done with it.
Where's my Mig-3!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL!I agree with ya nazgul, you should be ahamed of yourselves, asking for another spit. You crazy spit fanatics should be satisfied with what u got. We need Mig-3's and P-63's, not more spits an lala's!

Well it took us a long time to get the current lineup.
Looking to the future -
Current line-up plus (for the ultimate spit lineup) -
Old Vc back as a clipped LF IVc (would also double as a Seafire LIII)
Add the XII (the 190 chaser).
Add the F.21 as the RAF's '45 ride (perked).
Couldn't really add to that list without introducing redundant aircraft. No need for VI, VII, or really even the II.

I am, too. Very fast planes that also turn very well should NOT be available at all, or at least must be perked. They destroy the balance of the game and severely limit the survivable ride choices for those with the self-respect necessary to eschew flying the uberdweeb rides.
However, seeing as how HTC still hasn't perked the lamer7 after all these years, and keeps putting in more spits that go fast, the obvious intent is to drive everybody to flying uberdweeb rides, and actual skill requirements be damned. Therefore, why not go all the way, cut to the chase, and put in F16s and such :(.
BTW, FWIW, the VERY 1st plane show in the original, pre-beta screenshots of the original DOS WB 1.0 was a Sea Fury. We never had it in the actual game when it came out IIRC, but it was in there for some of the initial testing apparently. So somebody at HTC likes the thing :).
Also FWIW, the Fury (as opposed to Sea Fury) saw combat in the 1948 Israeli War of Independence. The Iraqis had a number of them.

Bearcat.
-
If we get the SeaFury, I suspect that the following airplanes need to be added....
Skyraider
Bearcat (which did fly in WW2)
Tigercat (also flew in WW2)
La9
P80
Meteor
Panther
(early russian jet can not think of name of it)
Otherwise I suspect the SeaFury, and most of those above need not be included.
-
It's funny how a post about spotting a Sea Fury near my home with Hitech's plane in tow turns into a thread about should we get one or not. Of course we're never going to have one. It's not a WWII plane. Almost, but to late. It does kick major butt though. I mean, how awesome is a plane that has upwards of 3000 Hp, 18 cylinders, and each cylinder is 360ci. Oh, and it looks cool too.

No way the Sea fury would or should be included in the game, it never made it even close to being in WWII.
First deliveries weren't until 1946/7.

Kev, that is the point bohdi is trying to make, most of those planes except for the bear and tigercats never saw combat in ww2! If we get a seafury then the door would be open for other late model planes. Would be pretty cool to fly the A1 Skyraider, all those bombs. One can dream, one can dream.
-
correct you are dizman.

Was the A-1 Skyraider a all new plane or was it designed off an older airframe?
-
all new.

Just give me it's Vulcan cannon mounted in 110....anyone up for a HO? :O
-
We already have fast planes that turn well. Some P47s P51D....the F4U series all have very good speed and good turn rate. Oh...forgot the La7.
P38 fairly fast and turns well also....Ki84...sheeesh the list goes on.

You can have your sea fury when I have my F-86 and MiG-15!

Jets stink! There is nothing like big radial engines. They are the best.

The only engagement I heard of with Iraqi Furies was when it jumped an Israeli Beufighter and augered chasing it down to tree tops. The beufighter was piloted by an RAF veteran volunteer.
The Fury pilot must have survived and is flying La7s in the MA today. I recognize his flying style.
