Title: Seafire IIc loadout.
Post by: thrila on August 26, 2002, 08:00:26 AM

From what i know the Seafire IIc is a SpitV with a Strengthened undercarriage and tail hook.  The spitV could carry a 250lb bomb so shouldn't the Seafire IIc have one too?  It would be nice to bomb things instead of strafing stuff all the time. :)

I haven't got any books on the Seafire unfortunately:(   so if anyone can clear this one up it would be great.:)

i think its because its for a cv, because there is only a small runway, the seafire cant build up enough speed to and energy to carry the extra weight, i might be wrong

I seem to recall that the centerline hardpoint normally found on the SpitV, is occupied by the required catapult spool, and is no longer available.

My regards,

Seafire MkIIC

Armament:Two 20mm fixed forward-firing cannon and four 0.303in browning fixed forward-firing MG's in the leading edges of the wing, plus an external bomb and rocket load of 227kg (500lb)

so all in all it should have the option to have rockets/bombs
