anyone feel like havin a 40mm armed hurricane - Guest - 20.04.2008

i found some images(http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/we ... ricane.jpg)

this is a real plane, wonder if anyone could create the 40mm armed hurri, i'd like tankbustin in it

Should really have a new FM as well since the Tankbuster Hurri was slower than a standard Hurricane II and difficult to line up on targets (sluggish on the rudder due to the inertia and side area of the guns).

been working on one but it all depends if we can get the airfilter right or not, im waiting for ranwers to get back as i need to ask him a few questions

Is it realy a 40mm cannon? For the eye it looks quite small in diameter

It is.

That plane was used a lot in africa(not sure though was it africa) as a ground pounder.That was hes soul purpose.I think he had a pair of mgs too to aid aiming

2 .303's and a pair of Vickers "s" 40mm cannon..and yes i believe it was mostly used as a tin opener for Rommel Wink

According to William Green an unspecified number (perhaps around 40) were sent to Russia for use on the eastern front.

Ideally, the damage model would also be adjusted to account for the extra armour plate the aircraft carried beneath the engine, cockpit and radiator.

Sounds Great! Big Grin

Could the tropical modification be expanded in other planes as MkII b,c and the Bf109 series E7,F4,G2,G6 in new slots with proper FMs?...or I'm asking too much? :oops:

thanks for the support, so since we can all agree....

....can someone make a mod replacing the hurri field mod becaise 2 20mm an 2 mg are bad weapons, like the 12 mg and 4 20mm ones, also like the early war one too....
....as for guns, think easiest id bee puttin 2 40mm from me210 zest, and increase fire rates....
....please make a mod someone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have 4 different Hurricanes in the game, and they're all excellent aircraft, once you get to know them. The field mod is modified by the russians, and it's still the correct guns, and I've got the impression that no aircraft released in the future will be released without having their own slots, again, that's hearsay and my own estimate.

Personally I use the mk IIc quite regularly online, and those 20 mm cannons will tear anything to bits, the trick is being a good shot and making every shot count, because you've only got about 8 seconds of ammo, vs. the 21 seconds on the mkIIb and mkI.

Please, get a grip on reality, we've got more than 300 planes, don't be so "panicky" to get more NOW NOW NOW!

Take it easy, if you knew how much time is put into every little thing in these mods, you'd shut up immediately out of respect. I mean literally, we've discussed which rockets to put on a specific aircraft for hours and hours on end, scouring the net for pictures, specifications, etc. etc.

Appreciate what you get, in fact, appreciate that you get anything at all, this is all non-paid, non profit work.
