Is anyone working on correcting the ordnance options for the Hurricane?
It seems to me that we have nearly all of the Hurricanes in game but we still do not have the full loadouts available I would love to see the Hurricane series completed. I think it would be fantastic if someone could model the following;
Mk.IIB (12 gun) needs
Drop Tanks (44 or 90 Gallon) under each wing
Mk.IIc needs (In game we have the 'Mk.IIc' how about adding a 'Mk.IIC' as a new aircraft with the bomb loadout option?)
Drop Tanks (above)
250lb bomb for each wing
500lb bomb for each wing
Mk.IIb (8 gun wing) (Either clone the ingame 'Mk.IIb' and call it a 'Mk.IIb(8)' remove the outer machine guns and add bombs or perhaps the kind soul who just made the IIa can clone that into a 'Mk.IIB' and add the loadouts?)
Drop Tanks
250lb bomb for each wing
500lb bomb for each wing (12 gun wing Hurricanes did not carry 500lb bombs)
Rocket Projectiles - The IIb and IIc were the first Hurricanes to use the 60lb rockets with 4 under each wing - first used in Summer 1943. Would be great to have these added to the IIB and IIC - the modded new aircraft of course
If all of the above could be done then we would have a complete Hurricane collection albeit for the Hurricane IV but I'd bet thats a whole lot of work in itself due to the increased power of the engine (1600HP ish) and somewhere in the region of 350lbs of armour added. If we could just implememt the full ordnance options then I would be one very happy virtual aviator
