Question on Hurricane

[dburne]

On the Hurricane Collector Plane, is it available to be used in PWCG yet? I see it listed in the aircraft owned section.

And if it is, is there an easy way to find a group and map it can be used in? I have tried searching but it is rather cumbersome to look at each flight hoping to find one that flies that plane.  Probably an easier way that I am just not seeing. I start entering data - Map and then flight group - then don't see it and have to start over again rinse and repeat.

Look in the attack groups.  It often won't show up if you only look for it as a fighter.  You can also just pick a group and manually add the plane to your inventory.

Ok will check it out thanks. It would be nice to be able to just search by plane.

Hurricane flies for only one squadron, but it is available from Moscow all the way into 1944.  The squadron is 157th Fighter Air Regiment before August 1942.  After August 1942 it becomes 651st Fighter Air Regiment.  The Hurricane is not withdrawn until September 1944.

 

I had intended that the squadron be primarily a fighter unit but pretty close to 50/50.  I added raider as a role and that shifted it to more attack than fighter, so now it is listed under attack squadrons.  157th before Stalingrad and 651st after.

Ok thanks for the info, I had given up this morning trying to find one.

Gives me a reason to finally fly over the BOM map.

I rather like flying the Moscow battle, but more for the plane set than the map.
