Bullets Posted September 6, 2018 Author Posted September 6, 2018 Was at York Air Museum this week and was stood in awe at the beauty of the Hurry.. Made me once again lust for it to be simulated in the BOX series ?
Danziger Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 Of course we'll get a Hurricane! Jason said he wants to add more planes so he practically promised us a Hurricane!

Right there he basically promised we will get a B17 and a Hurricane and an IAR80 and and I153 and whatever plane you want! PROMISED! 2

Bullets Posted May 8, 2019 Author Posted May 8, 2019 That bowing sounds like longitudinal instability... potentially something wrong with that aircraft? All reports I have read, especially British ones from British tests state it was a very stable gun platform and very manoeuvrable being able to easily out turn 109's down low.
onlyforbrian Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 I just started flying BoK in VR with the Samsung Odyssey Plus, and found myself giggling like a schoolboy. So more collector planes is always a good thing. I'd love to see the Hurricane, (and maybe a DO-17). We already have a P51, Tempest, P-38, and B-25 on the way, and with the 4k skins, and the new Fmod sounds, this sim is going to be insane. Well done, developers!! With these planes, and if they add a western Europe campaign after BOK, the Hurricane would fit right in. ?? 1
HylaHyla Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 A Hurricane is a must for this game. Amazed to hear Russian pilots dissing this plane. Wonder if it was because of their late start with it and lack of time or inability to train properly to get to know the nuances of the aircraft. BoB British, Canadians, Poles loved it and some preferred as a warhorse due to its maneuverability and stability as a gun platform, hence its later role as ground attack fighter. I miss flying one as I often used it in Il2 1946. So in short, would definitely welcome the chance to own one again, PLEASE!!!

As to the attitude of Russian pilots who got to fly these planes; whilst the Hurricane was undoubtedley a very capable inteceptor in the summer of 1940, it was already outclassed by the '109E3/4. By the summer of '41 and into '42 it had became hopelessly outclassed by the E7, let alone the F2/4. Also, I think it's important to remember that all those Hurricanes which did so well in the BoB.......those were the same planes we sent to Russia the following year. By which time they were pretty clapped out. What did the Russians like most about the Hurricane? It had a two way radio that worked. 1 2

It was a very similar situation to the Spitfire Vs sent to the Soviets: a good plane in its prime, but by 1943 they were worn out and outclassed by both the opposition and by of course the Mk. IX. Plus, as I read in a newspaper article from 1943, the Spitfire Vs sent to the Soviets were veterans of North Africa, so they had seen especially hard use.
Brano Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 One of the ways how to get rid of used up stuff you don't need anymore. Like used up cars from west that noone would buy there, in Ukraine bazaar.
Heliopause Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 Same system was applied to russian deliveries as to British units.
sevenless Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 This game clearly suffers from a lack of collector planes. I guess they easily could sell 20 odd additional planes, if they would find a reasonable way to produce them.
Poochnboo Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 Really, as much as you may like the Hawker Hurricane, it really was an, okay, fighter. I've never heard any RAF pilot who flew both the Hurri and the Spit say that he preferred the Hurricane. Yes, I know, "Oh yeah, well in the Battle of Britain they shot down more German planes than the Spitfire!" True. But do you truley think that the reason is because it was the better fighter? It's because there were 18 Spitfire squadrons and 29 Hurricane squadrons. Pilots did like the airplane's ability to take damage. That was because of it's fabric construction. Cannon or bullet rounds would often pass right through the fabric sections of the airplane without doing any serious damage. The "fitters" would patch the holes and she was ready to go. A big plus. Not sure about the "beauty" of the Hurricane. Comparing the Spit and Hurricane is like comparing a racing thoroughbred to a plow horse, really. But the Hurri did the jobs she was called on to do. Much like the American P-40. I know the airplane has a fan base, but there are so many other airplanes I'd rather see them put their time into. It's popular, however, so I wouldn't be surprised if you see one, eventually. 1

I think the Hurricane has a great looking cockpit and canopy, I'd like to see it for that reason alone lol. By the way, I think it was part of the Russia lend/lease program so it would fit right in.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the the big weakness in the Hurricane was that it had a carburated engine (at least the early models) and the engine would temporarily cut out when nosing over into a dive.

Bullets Posted September 2, 2019 Author Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) I don't want to assume or expect anything any more but the lend lease hurri's were MK IIB's with 12x.303in brownings Options would probably consist of; rear view mirror & wing mounted bombs.

Missionbug Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 That is great news, the Hurricane has been eagerly awaited for such a long time. Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

What great news! I think options could be rather more extensive. The Russians didn't like the .303's and substituted their own weaponry. Two or sometimes four 20mm cannon. We're going to get murdered by the emil 1
Feathered_IV Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 The Hurricane brings nothing new to the table with regards to gameplay and in performance it is a flying brown paper bag. It’s a recognizable shape, but there are better choices of aircraft out there. 2

Poochnboo Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 the Hurricane and the Yak 9 are the two planes they're working on? Well, at least that will save me some money...because I don't want either one of them. 1
Rei-sen Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 Great news! I'll pre-order them as soon as the button appears on the website.
HBPencil Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 I voted 'No'. I have nothing against the Hurri and if the devs believe that it'll sell well enough to make it worth their while, then that's cool. I'm not sure if I would buy it or not but I'm fairly sure I'd hardly ever fly it. Ho-hum performance yet lacking the raw, seat-of-the-pants flying of earlier types like the I-16, Hs123 etc. Maybe I'd buy it just for the skinning options.

Catch me in the middle of furballs in it against K4’s and 262’s ?. I will be flying it for the sake of flying it. Was flying the HS129 as a dog fighter last night and was having so much fun, it’s rewarding getting kills as the underdog
Sokol1 Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 Hurricane? ? https://t4.ftcdn.net/jpg/00/06/47/49/500_F_6474930_C12YcX5X3Z70OJ2aJmYJ7o883TJU9ujB.jpg
SYN_Vander Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) Hurricane is an iconic, historically significant and very cool plane. Would make an excellent collector plane. My dream: Hurricane as part of a Birma/Flying Tigers plane set! Edited September 3, 2019 by SYN_Vander 1
RedKestrel Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 I'll buy this as soon as it comes out. I can't imagine using it much in online scenarios but I like the plane so much that just having it to fly around will be a lot of fun. If we get some of the Russian Field mods for it that will make it even more interesting, especially as a ground attacker. The Yak-9T that is rumored is also of interest, and that one will be competitive online.
Atlasapl Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 I would love to see the Hurricane in IL2 as a collector plane. As long as the MC.200 is added at the same time. 1
ITAF_Rani Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Hurricane collector...mumble mumble? Possibly could fit in scenario like: Moscow Burma Malta Africa and England 1940 no because developed already by TFusion.. So other scenario?

If they put out a map for that it would expand the Eastern Front situation pretty well without really having to develop an entire 'chapter' of Il-2 around it. Collector maps, anyone? Not sure if its economical for them to do it this way, but in their work on the BoBP map they have said that they have developed new tools to accelerate map production. Maybe we will see things like that in the future?
