Does the Hurricane catch fire?

[MB_Avro_UK]

Hi all,

About 90% of my time on CoD involves flying the Hurricane, but I have no recollection of it ever catching fire. The Spitfire however,will burn.

Am I mistaken? Any screenshots?

I think the Hurri has a tough fuel tank to destroy or Penetrate, i,m not an expert so i only can tell you that, becose for me its the same, my engine of my spitifre cathed fire the 50% times when my engine was damaged, and for hurri i will say 15% or 10%, lets wait to a better respone i think, the mine is a little empty but i hope i can help you

Yes it does, but it needs much until it catches fire... As far as i know the hurrican could take much more in reality than the spitfire, so it is well represented in the game...

prove at 0.26 and 1.00:

I fly the Hurri online on ATAG a lot and I can tell you it certainly does!!

Yes it does. I think most damage is control or engine related than fire, at least in my shooting experience. They usually lose control, the engine dies or the pilot is killed.

From what I recall reading the hurricane irl was very susceptible to fire due to its construction, mainly the wooden structure, the addition of metal wings obviously stopped this a bit.

I would say its very different to what we currently have, definitely a bug the 109 and spit seem much more easy to light up (at least pre beta patch, I havent played for a bit ).

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.
