PorcoRosso Wrote:The Fury, didn't even have to think about it. This being said, there is one other particulat Hawker design that I think deserves more attention before moving on to exotic and fantasy designs or pre-war/post-war types.
I'll give you a hint : It carries 4 20mm guns and rockets, has a Napier engine and was very extensively used by the RAF on the Western front from 1942 to the end of the war in a wide variety of roles. It was instrumental in tipping the balance in favour of the allies during the fierce battles in the Normandy bocage in the Summer of 1944...
I don't believe any of the planes mentionned in the list above can boast such an impressive resume or be quite as useful in half as many scenarios/missions

Talking about the Hawker Typhoon?
