Title: Hurricane
Post by: Plawranc on September 09, 2012, 06:58:46 PM
I would like to see an update to the Hawker Hurricane as the next update.

It sees considerable use in the MA, it is one of the most important aircraft of WW2 being used in many different theaters. Aside from speed its performance and firepower is absolutely incredible and most of all.

IT GIVES US A CHANCE TO ADD THIS!

Would love to see the Sea Hurri Mk2B with 12x 303 machine guns (2 drops or 2x 250lb bombs I believe? or 500s)

+1 Couldn't agree more its time to update this bird and the addition of the Sea Hurricane would also be a big plus.

The MK1 is a beautiful plane.  My ride for this tour and 1/2 of last.
Would love to see it in a carrier version.

You know the guy is still hearing that 2 second burst into the cockpit.  Got to grin and love the lag when that happens :D

If only I could have replaced 12x303 with 2x0.5 and plenty of ammo. When a fighter needs 12 of something (except cylinders perhaps), you know it is just not right.
