anyway we'll have to see whether the patch brings something to the sounds, at least the improved the sound engine (didn't they say more was to come?)

Hope so!

I'm the first one to give kudos to 1C for what they've delivered to us, warts and all. Obviously, I fly online a LOT, and 1C have provided me the means to greatly enjoy the whole air combat experience in my personal favourite of all theatres of virtual war. A few weeks back Wolverine and I teamed up on the server, flying line abreast over the Channel and successfully engaged several 109's in quick succession. Using Teamspeak, with the fantastic in-cockpit sounds and graphics, it felt like we were THERE! How can you beat that, sitting in the warm comfort of your computer room/rec room?

That said, as a Canuck with Brit & Aussie blood in my veins, I wish 1C would have taken a true dyed-in-the-wool Brit on board as an influential consultant to put the true Allied "heart" into the Red side: Campaign, aircraft sounds, flyables, etc etc. The distinctive note of the Merlin strikes an emotional chord of anyone associated in any way with the Battle of Britain, and yet the devs inexplicably missed that completely. Moscow is truly a long way from Duxford in this case.

As I've heard it described elsewhere, the devs will know when they've got the Merlin flyby right when the hairs on the back of their neck stands up!

Was the IIc Hurri the one with the 4 20mm cannon? That indeed was my fav Hurri from IL2. Packed a punch on the desert map in Spits vs 109 server.

S!

So I have read too, Hurricane Mk.IIc was armed with 4 x 20mm Hispano, Mk.IIb with 12 x .303cal and the Mk.IId with 2 x .303cal and 2 x 40mm Bofors...Can be wrong though...
