Author Topic: the Hurri II would be a good slow bad performance firebreather (Read 859 times)

remember the hurri2c from warbirds? thing was lethal w its 4 fingers of death but oh was it so slow!

still it sprayed and killed with ease.

could even get just a generic Hurri2 with ability to switch armament packages from the hurri2a's 8 .303
hurri2b 12 .303
hurri2c 4 20mm
hurri2d 2 40mm 2 .303

the lightwieght panzer is a bit tough after seeing a single 40mm ap round from a hurri2d o through a tiger and kill the entire crew.
I imagine that 100 20mm hitting one spot would do to a panzer with only 20mm armor what the 40mm did to a tiger i guess.

Nothing against the Hurricane Mk IId, but I would prefer the Il-2 first.

Gotta love the Hurri IIC/D, but they were VERY slow... not really worth it in this planeset due to the Typhoon. Later on, definitely!

On a side note, my design & technology teacher's father flew Hurri IIDs, but I've got no idea which squadron he flew in..

I think even amongst the current planeset there would be a few surprised people when the Hurri out turn them, its leathal gunnery is more than a match for what we have now. I'd like to see HTC make a concious decision to start padding out a planeset for a big scenario now we have the terrain editor on its way, either lean towards introducing a more european planeset with Hurri's and HE111's, JU88's, Wellingtons, Stuka's or perhaps a more Pacific orientated planeset with Zero's, Frank's, Kate's, B25's, P47's, Wildcat's, Hellcats ETC

Guys I love the pics

But could you please limit them to 800x600 in size? it gets really annoying trying to read a thread and have to use the slider bars back and forth to read a sentence.

Thanks

I'ld love a Hurri IIc to hunt armour in an Afrika'42 scenario. I'd also kill for an IL2 or a Stuka to do the same at a Kursk/Eastern front scenario.

This fighter belonged to 402 (Canadian) Squadron Royal Air Force based in Horne, England late 1941 and into 1942. the MkII Hurricane was developed primarily for cross channel fighter-bomber raids and was dubbed the "Hurribomber" by the RAF
