Developer Diary 237 - Discussion

[BladeMeister]

You know, I just look at these hurricane pictures again and the amount of detail involved is staggering. Inside the landing gear wells, the hydraulic lines and all of the landing gear mechanism. Amazing! All this and the skin template hasn't even been applied. That's it, please stop all production and everything else! All hands on deck to finish the Hurricane. If you do this,.... Two weeks I am sure.

If you smash a II and a II together you should get a IV. Unless my math skills have seriously degraded since elementary school (a real possibility)

A wiseguy, eh?

Any news about development & release of the Hurricane?I don't know how I'll use it ( a Murmansk map perhaps or some Faux BoB missions with the Normandy map,) but  I am really looking forward to this flying this plane in VR !

( Apologies for using images from CloD BLITZ)

Does that Hurricane look incredibly out of proportion....or what?

 

[IckyATLAS]

I hope the Hurricane will come with at least one soviet skin, so that I can use it in my Kuban campaign.

[II/JG17_HerrMurf]

I'd be very surprised if it didn't come with at least a couple of Soviet skins to go along with several Brit and Commonwealth schemes.

I think its the wide angle view I used & then cropped.That will make  anything distorted.In photos we sort of disregard it but in drawings , paintings or in this case screenshots our eyes pick up on it immediately.

I think you mean earlier campaigns - to my knowledge they weren't used in Kuban at all (could be mistaken) -- but it fits very well in the Moscow campaign.

Its a short nosed Mk I with the ill-fitting Rotol propeller that was originally intended for the Spitfire.  It always makes them look a bit funny up front.

Practically the whole point of adding the Hurricane at this point is to make it available for the Soviet side.

Yes but I am not trying to be perfect historically, more inspired by the facts, but who can guarantee that no hurricane ended up in the Kuban?

The developers have access to the original aircraft strength reports from that time and region.

Ok then, let's say this is Icky's Kuban Theater of War ?

Will it be possible to remove the dust filter in hangar or is the tropicalized variant made by default ?

Photographic evidence shows that aircraft were not always fitted with such equipment.
