The plane is the 2nd last unlock in the campaign. Yet its the worst plane in Enlisted atm.
If you dive with too high speed it starts pulling up by itself.
If you chase an enemy plane you better be 2m away from it before you fire because for some reasson its low calliber ammo amount is the same as its high calliber ammo amount. This also makes it really horrible bad at taking down bomber raids.
You can turn too fast so you break off your flaps quite easily
No firepower at all… 6 very weak rockets need to fire two time at the same soldiers to actually get kill
Those features are all true to the hurricane, and the nature of firing rockets into close-in urban streets crowded with debris; so really you might just want to fly a better plane.
I get that it has certain unique features… But that its the weakest plane of them all is just not right.
The rockets shouldnt be that weak. Im almost max with the plane. You need to shoot two times two rockets at soldiers to kill them when they are out in the open…
And the low calliber ammo amount is just not right compared to the plane
They totally Buffed the rifle caliber aircraft guns a while back now there often more lethal than 20 mm cannons, and now one of the most unrealistic weapons classes in the game, and for Enlisted that’s saying a lot.
I tried to look up how much ammunition they loaded into the hurricane modified with the Soviet 20mm & 12.4mm guns, but I couldn’t find anything in my limited search. I’m forced to assume that gaijin knows what they’re doing in this case.
I did come across this comprehensive read about the hurricanes use in the Soviet union, if anyone’s interested:
So yeah Ive just tested in practice mode the hurricane mk IIB and the I-153 M-62 which is the very first plane you get in moscow.
The hurricane rockets does no dmg to tanks nor the zeppeliners or at least extremely littly. Ive fired multiple rockets on the same small medium tank and the same zeppeliner. Nothing.
The I-153 M-62 works fine against both on the first try. Zeppeliner explodes immediatly and tank took damage and engine caught fire.
This doesnt seem right that the hurricane cant do any damage to tank at all and is so weak compared to.
Yes, I checked, they get around more than I recalled, The bulk of them did remain in the North, as that’s where they came into the Soviet Union, and that’s where the British Units that were for a short time flying them operated from, before they departed and left their machines the Soviets.
Check out that article I linked: the Soviet union received over 3000 hurricanes over the course of the war, and equipped dozens of squadrons from Murmansk to Moscow to Stalingrad and elsewhere
i’m fairly sure this got fixed, i was using 8mm earlier and it wasn’t doing much, but ive noticed 20mm shreds recently. maybe it’s just due to each belt different planes use
The Hsipanons were kind of sucking it a bit before, actually a lot, but the MG 151’s always seamed more effective, I haven’t really noticed much difference with the Hsipaons though since the “fix” for them.
Yes Im aware they made them so without any notice about it ingame. However the rockets are still too weak and should do some damage to tanks and more damage to infantry
Where you ever in a dogfight with it? It´s nearly impossible to use so might aswell use a the M-82 or A-20. Both can take down bomber raids too if you make your shots count. The larger bomb is usefull against tanks but Soviets have better tanks in the first place so you can leave that to them anyway.
