From a detailed report.

That the 8mm thick 109E "armour" weighed only 46 kg indicates that it was not armour plate, which would have weighed considerably more, but probably a toughened alloy of some kind, or a sandwich of armour and alloy.

You are simply wrong.

Then we have the usual assertion of how bad British methods were cf the uber German...

Well the British method was to put relatively low thickness armor plates in a lot of places, which were useful when you were shooted at with non-AP munition or by German bombers. Unfortunately the thickness used on British fighters (4.5 mm back plate, 6.2mm head plate) was only marginally effective when shot at by even 7.92mm AP munition.

Which report?

Prove it - show us the evidence this was armour plate.

Prove it.

Clearly Kf has no evidence for his assertions, so they can be discounted, as per usual.

In the meantime the Hurricane is seriously overweight.

So, some of you have decided to take a perfectly acceptable thread, about a possible bug in the game, and turn it in to the usual back and forth point scoring arguments.
On that note, if its a bug, put it in the the bug thread.

Messerschmitt - Aircraft & Legend - Nowarra

E1 - 2010kg empty, 2505kg All-up weight

E3 - 2060kg empty, 2610 All-up weight


Nothing to do with the Hurri weight though.

Nowarra's information is considered to be quite inaccurate and dated.

We should try to rely on original German or British documents or secondarily, original documents on captured aircraft.
