For instance, the AI-controlled transport plane C-47A Skytrain (Dakota) for Battle of Normandy is almost ready and you'll get it in the next update. ............................ The second hero of the day is the upcoming Collector Plane - the British Hawker Hurricane Mk.II fighter. ............................ The work on Tank Crew is continuing as well. ............................ Full news - here is a full text and visual materials 11 5 2 4
ROCKET_KNUT Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Nice! Edited October 23, 2020 by ROCKET_KNUT
616Sqn_Johnny-Red Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 Delighted to hear the Hurricane is going into the Moscow and Stalingrad campaigns! Outstanding work 3
LuftManu Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 Oh gosh! Nice going there, love the modifications, Dakota and more details for Tank Crew. As always, outstanding!
Sybreed Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 Thx for the update @Han Can you talk about the career mode improvements in the next update? This has got me excited! 4
Soilworker Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 "This legend will be finally reconstructed in our project, even if it is an AI only aircraft for now." Half-Life 3 confirmed! Wait... 4
40plus Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 Dakota - Gorgeous ? Hurricane - ugly as sin but 40mm! Tank Crew - AI updates?!? Is it Christmas already? Thank you devs!!
Monksilver Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 Dakota ! How I wish I had the skill to write missions, with that plane and the BOBP map having Arnhem, Eindhoven, Nijmegen I'd be looking at creating Operation Market Garden even if I could only escort the Dakotas.
BMA_FlyingShark Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 That "for now" gives me high hopes. Have a nice day. 1
JG1_Vonrd Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 Any estimates as to when (if?) the C-47 will be flyable? 2 weeks? ? 2
Creep Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 Want to make sure I understood... the AI C-47 and Hurricane are coming in the next update - is that right? If so, when is the next update?
Enceladus828 Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 Thanks guys. Glad to hear that the C-47 will come in the next update. This pic is my favourite:
1CGS LukeFF Posted October 23, 2020 1CGS Posted October 23, 2020 Excellent! I see two different gunsights there on the Hurricane. Nice job!

=GW=seaflanker819 Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 Could you provide Hurricane's performance data before release so I can decide whether I need to buy it immediately??I mean, performance is really a big factor in an immediate purchase.
Beazil Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 No mention of the fix for canted VR displays? I thought that would make into an official update. As Jason brought it up on another thread, it is exciting news to he sure for those of us affected as this should allow us to make more effective use of our headsets, which is newsworthy in and of itself. As for the Dakota news, I was not expecting to hear about this so soon, but I can see where it is an integral part of the Normandy product and I'm excited to see it utilized. Finally, what else can we say about the hurricane that hasn't already been said? It's addition to the franchise is as much a boon as any spitfire or 109 model. Great work!
Blitzen Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Ready for the Hurricane , but I am also eager to get aboard the C-47! I assume the U,S. ( Brit?) paratrooper will be of the same quality as the Falshirmjaegers in the Ju-52? Edited October 23, 2020 by Blitzen added info 1
Missionbug Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 Really looking forward to the C-47 and the Hurricane, it has been a long wait, seems so at least, at last, party time soon. Thank you very much for the DD, really appreciated. Take care and be safe. Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

With the original engine spec at sea level it would be slightly faster than the I-16, if you starting putting cannons on top of it it can end up slower though. Wtih the extra boost modification (1942 timeframe) the speed increases a good bit and with machine gun only armament it ends up very similar to P-40E speeds using 42" at low altitude.
PatrickAWlson Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 C47 will make a nice addition to all careers. Can't fly it but you might now come across one while flying a mission.
Beazil Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) I just realized that not only do I hope to see one Finnish skin for that Hurricane, but what are the chances of the plane being available to the "blue" side as well? (edit: meaning with appropriate armament and not fantasy stuff - but I suppose that's for others) ...slightly better than a snowball in hell?

Burdokva Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 Cargo drops in Career mode make me hopeful that the German airlifts over Stalingrad and the Kuban will finally be portrayed in singleplayer properly.

To quote Emperor Palpatine in The Empire Strikes back: "Can it be done?" The only usage of Hurricanes that I know of by the Axis is the handful of Mk Is sent to Finland. I mean sure, yeah, slap a Finnish skin on it if you want, but it's not going to the entirely correct variant. 1

To quote Emperor Palpatine in The Empire Strikes back: "Can it be done?" Well the Finns only had a single Hurricane Mk.II (a Captured Soviet hurricane). So they had more of other Soviet types (I-16 etc) then they had Hurricane Mk.IIs. The Hurricanes they bought from the Britts were 10 Mk.Is (They ordered 12 but 2 did not make the trip). And Romania also flew the Mk.I (That were bought from the Brits before they joined the Axis) But i dont think any Axis power flew the Mk.II (Except for the odd captured aircraft).

Boomerang Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 Great update!. Love the screenshots, they really show the wonderful work that where all looking forward to. Those models look amazing. I really like the Dakota, hope we get to fly it in the future ?. Ai improvements in TC will ad to the immersion for sure. Thank you for all the continued hard work and the sharing of good news.

I mean sure, yeah, slap a Finnish skin on it if you want, but it's not going to the entirely correct variant. No, but the MkII with 8 guns is a close approximation. I suggested it because I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one who'd want to use it in that role, but heck, I'm just thrilled to see that bird in game. And really, to me it's like getting six different versions! Appreciate your comments tho Luke, as always. S! Edit: I agree with other posters, it may not be the best, but in absence of a MkI version, blah blah blah. *reads mattebubben's comments again* You've convinced me. A Mk II isn't appropriate. Derail over. ? Edited October 23, 2020 by JG51_Beazil 1
Rjel Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 The C-47 looks very sleek, even after 80 years. The desert camo on the Hurricane is gorgeous.
Cathaoir Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 Nice update...but it has been a while since there was any update for FC. Is this forgotten or is there something in the works... 2
CUJO_1970 Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Thanks for the update. Considering it has been a full 40 Developer updates and nearly 1-1/2 years since you mentioned a new Luftwaffe aircraft here maybe you can give some news about that soon?
