Does the Hurricane catch fire?

[notafinger!]

Hurricane wing tanks will burn easily. Shoot the wing roots with a mix of 8mm AP & I and they will catch fire quickly. 20mm hits will often result in tank explosion. In general the Hurricane is much easier to destroy than the Spitfire. Here is a collection of some poor souls from ATAG.

exactly my experience!

hurricanes are really vulnerable!!!!
it is very easy to blow off wings from that crate as well, while i see it very rarely happen to spitfires.
the fuel tanks explode regularly while i have seen that only once happen to a spit in my whole COD career.
and to set a hurricane on fire is really easy as well....just like notafinger said, aim directly next to the fuselage on the root of the wings, and a 1second burst is often enough to set it up into flames.
