Salute Ivan

As I mentioned in my post, Feathered_IV extracted the files and the figure listed in them is also 3311 kgs for weight.

Salute

Haven't seen extracted Spitfire files to confirm the weight listed in the Loadout screen is the same as used in the files.

Here is the weight summary from the ROTOL Performance trials. Passed on to the devs.

Official maximum weight taken from the RAF data card of the Hurricane I, dated 6th of August 1941, is 6793 lb. Testing was hardly ever done with the fully loaded plane, you can see in the quoted tests that for instance fuel capacity (94 gallons) wasn't used to maximum.

As I mentioned in my post, what Ivan has shown above, ie. 6311 lbs is the figure without the bulletproof windscreen and armour plating. 6750 lbs is the figure used in the test with windscreen and armour and that is what the max. weight should be close to in my opinion.

I haven't seen your data card JtD, but it is a lot later in the war, much equipment could have been added by August of 1941, I think the plane was not used except as a recon by then, and in any case, 6793 lbs is still a long way under the 7284 lbs which the game is showing as the maximum.
