Thats what I've thought too many times now. The camera modules are very very small so the pilot could well have one attached to his helmet so we could see what he sees and hear what he hears. But of course the buggers are jealous of their experience, and rightly so! "If you only knew what it feels to fly one..." :cry

Post by: SKJohn on February 11, 2009, 01:18:42 PM: Thanks Twinboom - I totally enjoyed that!

Question - what are the two extra outer guns on each wing? Machine Guns? Cannon? If MG's, does this mean it carried 12 .303's?
Title: Re: Rebirth Of MKIIb Hurricane
Post by: TankBstr on February 11, 2009, 01:49:11 PM: Indeed, 12x .303mgs; generally used as a strafer.
Title: Re: Rebirth Of MKIIb Hurricane
Post by: Greebo on February 11, 2009, 01:51:42 PM: I'd imagine that when HTC get round to redoing the Hurricane Mk II, you would get gun options for 8 or 12 303s, or 4 hispanos.

I thought it was a Mk I, but the program identifies it as The Fighter Factory's Hurricane Mk II-B, RCAF 5667.

Just wondering - what would hit harder, 6 x.50's, or 12 x .303's?

Well... the rate of fire and ballistics of those .303's are pretty awesome. But if I were to use my experience from in-game, I'd say probably about the same if not just a little more damage per second.

However this is based up on what I've experienced. :)
