I'd hate that. Rather just shoot both. I usually consider machine guns relatively useless anyways. Although using the rockets button as a machine gun button would be ok... Still, I'm not convinced that they'll be seperate options in the button layout.

It's actually the reason I'm usually not that impressed with the Hurri . That and it's incredible speed of course.

why does everyone hate my damn hurricane!!! lol.


Its ok if the year limit is set to 1940, then it can hold its own. Anything after that then it struggles

Also...with limited ammo on you'll find the hurricanes ammo lasts longer than most others those 12 MG's are not as weak as you think lol.

In a way it would be good if everybody hated your Hurri... as long as it is because you shoot them down .

P.S. This post is meant as a shameless bump to get the original update topic above guilty's . Apparently the troll struck again.

I don't; how can you not love a plane described as "a collection of nonessential parts flying in close formation." It's a tough little bird and in the right hands it is effective.

All in all though a nice aircraft to fly

Did you fly hurri's when they first appeared in IL2?

If not, you missed the hurri party big time. The flight model was messed up at first and hurri's could climb much better than reality.

Online, pilots expecting to outclimb hurri-UFO's in 109's (even late war 109's) where getting shot down left and right. It was fun until the FM got fixed, then the hurri's sucked again and less people flew them after that.
