It's allways nice to bring some humour in! LOL! I bet you're right... from the LW  perspective, of course!  :D

We need this piece of... brilliant engineering like a fish needs a bicycle...  :lol

OMG, why do we need that? it was armed wiht 4 303's. And unless the damage moddle was changed in the 10 mins since I stoped playing, then thats not overwhelming firepower. It was an early war "fighter" that had no forward facing armament. I think the ONLY possible use would be as an ack dragger and as an escort for bomber, but I think that could be better accomplished by having someone bring another bomber.

The only way it would be effective is if HTC gave it a "Hurricane" ID tag until you were rather close (early on Luftwaffe pilots mistook it for the Hurricane).

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

IIRC the 190's weren't fielded yet when the defiant was called back.

Thought you meant what Rooks already send down from orbit into B17 missions.

My mistake. :P

They would certainly be fun for me to shoot at, but I can't see why anyone would want to fly one.  It's got the same powerplant as the hurricane, but with the extra weight of a turret and gunner, so it's slower and heavier.  It has no guns facing forward, so you'd be manuevering around in the turret trying to get a shot..

This is one of those planes that has a place in scenarios and that's just about it.  It would be nothing more than a hanger queen in any of the regular arenas.
