Title: Russian testing of Hurricane IID.
Post by: lyric1 on October 07, 2014, 12:41:49 PM
Found this an interesting read :headscratch: Well as best you can with Google translation.

So question is for you data type guys how is the AHII Hurricane IID versus what the Russians found?

 I tried to read that link Lyric but it was tough to understand as a few words didnt seem to make sense in the context.

   What I got out of the read was that they preferred the Il2 over the hurrie in the CAS role.  Interesting is the fact they tested to 40mm in an air to air role,or maybe I misunderstood which is likely the case..... :o

  Even the letter from Churchill was a difficult read....... :rofl

In short. "lightly armored, disliked the cannons, no spare parts, limited ammo provided. Pilots were pissed due to limited use of their squadron.
