First off - I know this is a combat flight sim, not microsoft flight sim where every button works but...

I agree - love the new models - and yes I noticed the mirrors!  Will they work?  Will they get rolled out across the board? Also love the landing lamps!  Can I pick a key to turn on and off my landing lamps and formation lights? :)  Can I have lamps on my mossie and bombers?  Please please please!

Seriously - really appreciate this hitech, love the game, great job and always grateful for the new toys!  (And yes - I know that lamps are probably at the bottom of the pile!)

Models look really great, particularly that cockpit!!!

Great to see HTC paying some attention to early war stuff, really hope they've also done up some of the British bomber models, Lancaster and Bostons particularly!

I apologise!  :old:

Good to see Hurricanes updated just for the IIb loadout alone!

Hopefully the flight model gets a review aswell.


Flush inside the wing. ;)

I agree, can't wait for the IIb and SeaHurri to fill in some gaps in the Hurricane lineup.


Very good call HTCs, many seem eager to check them out.

With the historicly correct gunsight, half the work is finished on a Gladiator, Whirlwind and Beaufighter............ :)

Hope the spit MkI gets retrofitted with this gunsight.

It was probably a simple oversight to get us something quick to look at. But, did anyone notice in those pictures of wing leading edges that the MkI and MkII, 8 and 12 gun versions show gun ports and barrels but, the sea Hurri's leading edge is blank?

So is that a rush to post art omission or will we have a load out option in the hanger for the gun and ordinance packages for the Ib or Ic\IIc?

Ib - 8 .303 & 2 - 500lb
Ic\IIc - 4 - 20mm & 2-500lb.

I've read references that the Sea Hurri could carry 8 rockets.

This is a remodel.  Not an addition, per say.   :aok  However, I'm very impressed and happy to see this stalwart get new life in AH.  Having the 12 (yes, twelve!!!) .30 cal MG's will make for an interesting gun boat.  Remember, it takes approximately four .30 cal MG rounds to equal a single .50 cal.  However, most of the .30 cals have about 3 times the rate of fire.  Do the math for a damage over time value, say a 3 second burst.  Impressive.

The Sea Hurricane is a Mk IB/C hybrid, so there will be hangar loadouts for eight 303s or four Hispanos. No rockets though.

I guess HTC just forgot to select an armament option before taking the screenshots.
