hawker hurricane stats
 

Just been reading Wood and Dempster's book "The Narrow Margin" which formed the basis of the screenplay for the film "The Battle of Britain".
The appendix at the back provides the specifications for the Hawker Hurricane MK II A. Maxspeed 342mph, service ceiling 35000 ft.

I know BOP is a PS3 version of the PC Il2 game, but does anybody know how accurate the flight model is?

I have tried to fly the Hurricane on sim mode and can only get max speed 214 mph approx at 21000 ft straight and level no flaps WEP full on.
Max height I can get is 28000 feet before stall.

All units set to imperial, i.e. feet and mph

Hi Thefin, welcome to the forum :)

The flight models of the planes (sim mode) came straight from maddox games' original Il-2 PC title, apart from that, BoP is a completely different software. Most people believe there was some 'lost in translation' though. All aircraft in BoP climb waaay better than they were realisticly able to, then there is the infamous Mustang with incredably high drag and terrible stall characteristics.

You also have to take into acount that in BoP many aircraft management things are done automaticly, simplified, or completely deleted. In real life, proper use these things like RPM setting/prop pitch, fuel mix, supercharger stage, would be what would get you the high speeds and altitude.
