remember the hurri2c from warbirds? thing was lethal w its 4 fingers of death but oh was it so slow! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
still it sprayed and killed with ease.
could even get just a generic Hurri2 with ability to switch armament packages from the hurri2a's 8 .303
hurri2b 12 .303
hurri2c 4 20mm
hurri2d 2 40mm 2 .303
the lightwieght panzer is a bit tough after seeing a single 40mm ap round from a hurri2d o through a tiger and kill the entire crew.
I imagine that 100 20mm hitting one spot would do to a panzer with only 20mm armor what the 40mm did to a tiger i guess.

Nothing against the Hurricane Mk IId, but I would prefer the Il-2 first. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Gotta love the Hurri IIC/D, but they were VERY slow... not really worth it in this planeset due to the Typhoon. Later on, definitely! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
On a side note, my design & technology teacher's father flew Hurri IIDs, but I've got no idea which squadron he flew in..

I think even amongst the current planeset there would be a few surprised people when the Hurri out turn them, its leathal gunnery is more than a match for what we have now. I'd like to see HTC make a concious decision to start padding out a planeset for a big scenario now we have the terrain editor on its way, either lean towards introducing a more european planeset with Hurri's and HE111's, JU88's, Wellingtons, Stuka's or perhaps a more Pacific orientated planeset with Zero's, Frank's, Kate's, B25's, P47's, Wildcat's, Hellcats ETC

Guys I love the pics (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
But could you please limit them to 800x600 in size? it gets really annoying trying to read a thread and have to use the slider bars back and forth to read a sentence.
Thanks (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I'ld love a Hurri IIc to hunt armour in an Afrika'42 scenario. I'd also kill for an IL2 or a Stuka to do the same at a Kursk/Eastern front scenario.
