Hurricane reigns supreme online....

[FOZ_1983]

Just played online, team death match with 5 players, sim mode.

Team A was myself and robotic pope, both flying hawker hurricanes.

Team B was Shectur, Benrizz, Tudorp15 flying 109G4, Spitfire IX and the I-153





It finished.......... 20/18 in favour of the Hurricanes. It wa a very very tough match and the enemy flew bloody well, they kept capitalizing on our (hurricane) short comings which most notably was speed. Me and roboticpope both got 10 kills a piece and were on the edge of our seats flying the hurricanes against 3 superb opponents. It was good to take the hurricane online in a straight out fight and see how it got on......

it really does lack speed which makes it struggle so much. You can use your turning ability to get an opponent, but as soon as they realise what your doing they just wont get into a turning fight. If you happen to have an opponent who can out turn you (I-153) then we were in trouble. Best thing i could do was get robotic to go into a sharp turn (providing it wasnt the I-153 on is 6) thus enabling me in my hurricane to be able to out turn his opponent. Or... after dying and respawing, getting maximum speed in a gentle dive and basically firing as many rounds as possible into a target, thus getting his attention and hoping he goes for a turn.

As a huge huge fan of the hurricane i can only suggest using it if the parameter is set to 1940. Unless you want a challenge. It struggles to much against later models.



This post was for 2 reasons...

1 - to blow the trumpet of the hurricane and get the haters off its back.. you know who you are haha.

2- to give you a good idea of how if fares in a straight out team dogfight against more modern planes.

Thanks to all the guys above for a superb game, it was incredible and some great flying by all of you. Was an epic game and very tough. Was a pleasure flying with you.
