Title: SeaHurricane and Hurricane Mk IIB
Post by: Butcher on November 23, 2011, 02:34:59 PM: In a previous thread I posed the question why these birds were not added in game, so I will make a separate post for both, basically the Sea Hurricane and Hurri Mk IIB were instrumental to the war and should be added in game.

Now the reason I bring up the Hurri Mk IIB is because it was introduced May of 1941, and would be a nice gap filler after BoB, sure most would probably
fly the Hurri-C, however for Scenarios and Snapshots the Hurri-B or even SeaHurri would be instrumental.

Think of adding the Swordfish and Hurri B with a Brit carrier, ideas could be endless :)
