Lusekofte Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 They test physiology with it now. It must be pretty much ready by now. They probably set the new physiology parameters in the next update too. We are not only waiting for the hurry 1

Wishing you all the very best, Pete. 3
CanadaOne Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Tuesday works for me. Really looking forward to seeing that cockpit!
II./SG.1-MarkWilhelmsson Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Did the Russian Hurricanes have the big giant cannons? What about the Hispanos? I know they received many of this plane, just curious.

I know they received many of this plane, just curious. They converted their IIBs to carry ShVAK cannons. IICs had Hispanos and many were sent to the USSR. A handful of IIDs were also sent, but that wasn't until mid-late 1943.

Also IIC with Hispano cannons... not to mention that they converted some machine-gun equipped aircraft to carry the ShVAK instead. 3 minutes ago, LukeFF said: They converted their IIBs to carry ShVAK cannons.

We won't have this field mod... but the Hurricane could theoretically have carried the four outboard machine guns of the IIB with the four cannons of the IIC... it just was never actually used. That said, there may have been a prototype conversion with ShVAK in the inner wing but the outer wing guns left in place. There are also rumours of field modifications which reduced the armament to six or even maybe four brownings in order to save weight? Anyone have more info? I'd also be curious about the 4xUB loadout. Note: We're not getting any of the loadouts I just described - too rare ...and they are already giving us five different gun arrangements so we shouldn't complain! Edited October 18, 2020 by Avimimus
II./SG.1-MarkWilhelmsson Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 Another question I have is this; have the devs modelled the difference in ROF between the Hispano Mk2 and Mk5? That leads to this next thing that popped into my head, is there a way to find out how much damage a particular projectile does in game? Im curious because there are some cannons that fire different projectiles at different velocities; for example the MG/FF 20mm vs the MG151/20mm. And then there are some that fire the same projectile, but at different velocity; for example the MK108 HE and MK103 HE. Same projectile, but obviously MUCH different velocity.

Diggun Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Devs currently doing one last walk around, kicking the tires and wiggling the ailerons, checking the wind direction... Good day for a flip don't you think? 1

ROCKET_KNUT Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) I guess this means no Hurricane just yet... Edited October 20, 2020 by ROCKET_KNUT 1
Jason_Williams Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 The Hurricane is getting close, but has not entered Beta testing yet. This week you'll see pics of the cockpit in the DD. Jason 7 9 5
sevenless Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 That means after Helloween Sale (over at 3rd Nov) there will be a Hurri Day. Great!
