Thats interesting, I'll have to try that!

Hi all,
here is a screenie taken from a burning Hurricane!

IMHO, however, it should take more often fire compared to other a/c, dued to it's resin-soaked wooden structure.

yes, I can confirm this! A Hurri is a TURN&BURN-Fighter, while a 109 is not ;)

I set quickly up in the fmb a mission for testing this.
After, I did some dogfighting: 8 kills, but not one of the Hurris went down in flames! Like I said before, it is more rarely, than it happens often.

But try flying the Hurricane yourself. It NEVER catches fire.

Yes, I have had engine damage, pilot wounding and death. And also collision damage. But never when flying the Hurricane, has it burned.

Best Regards,

SP is different to MP... Just an observation you understand. ;)

okay???? And why is that?

(I haven't used the MP yet)

because it's pants.

and heartbreaker's bra? fireproofed? lol

In deed, for instances I can't remember that I went down in a burning Hurricane, shot down by an enemy. So I had a look in my screenshot-folder. It is also rare in other fighters, so I can only show two 109 in flames (different situations), one in a spit.

Except from the infernal ablazing Hurricane external screenshot which I took this afternoon, there's nothing which fits in that criteria. But i couldn't make a screenie from inside because I was dead within seconds. But you have to blow up one of those large storage tanks, though. The smaller ones have just no impact, neither to a Hurri

Talking of catching fire, i always thought having your main tank inFRONT of the pilot gave it some protection from damage, where as the 109 had it behind the pilot, right in harms way. You hear stores of 109's just exploding when hit, i wonder if that is the reason ?
