![]() ![]() The Hurricane Mk I/L is not without its weaknesses, however. It will be able to place you in its crosshairs very quickly and saturate you with rounds. If you see a Hurricane there are three things to remember: It is extremely good at turning, very durable and it has 8 machine guns, which despite their small calibre are extremely deadly. Utilise them as the standard form of fighting in both modes, as unlike in Arcade, regaining energy and speed after a turn fight takes rather long, leaving you vulnerable to fighters who didn't join the conflict earlier.Ĭountering the Hurricane almost completely depends on what kind of plane you are flying. Trigger discipline is the key here! Furthermore, the Hurricane's heavy weight, due to its old-fashioned tube chassis (unlike the more modern Spitfire with its nutshell chassis design), results in good vertical energy retention, allowing the plane to perform Boom & Zoom manoeuvres with great success. It is easy to deplete the entire ammo with a long burst. However, unlike the Spitfire, the Hurricane's guns are all in a single group, so it provides a better firing platform than the Spitfire by allowing its firepower to be concentrated.įor Realistic and Simulator Battles, the rate of fire and the subsequent lack of ammo are an important issue to keep in mind. 303 calibre machine guns, four in each wing. Lone fighter-bombers, attackers, heavy fighters and bombers should also present little threat to the Hurricane as its 8 machine guns provide a dense spread of fire at a fast rate, whilst the rigidity and durability of the airframe will cope with the return fire of the opposing aircrafts' gunners. Many of the fighters you will face do not have the agility to outmanoeuvre the Hurricane, which will only be surpassed by any biplanes or Japanese fighters you may face. In combat the Hurricane Mk I/L allows pilots to engage almost any aircraft comfortably. ![]() The standard "Hawker" style wide track landing gear present on most, if not all of their monoplane fighters is, of course, found on the Hurricane Mk I/L as well, making this aircraft much more appealing to newer players when landing due to its stability.

The Hurricane Mk I/L is a bit more sluggish in movement and turning than its brethren the Spitfire (Family) but is not an plane to take lightly because its not as agile as the Spitfire (Family) it's still a very manoeuvrable plane and a good dogfighter, having a top speed of 550/525 km/h (AB/RB) makes it not the fastest fighter of its BR, but combined with its manoeuvrability makes it a plane to be wary of when facing it in combat. A great and forgiving fighter aircraft for beginners to fly! In general the Hurricane is a joy to fly in all modes. It is also a very stable gun platform which makes aiming and shooting a very easy task to do. You will find your Hurricane able to withstand a very high amount of damage before it will give in as it is a largely fabric covered aircraft. One of the Hurricane's true strengths is in its durability and sheer robust nature which makes it a favourite among the virtual pilots of War Thunder as it was during the Battle of Britain almost 75 years ago.
