Chapter 102

The Sea Fury, like the Tempest, was designed by the British Hawker Aircraft Company.The company produced a series of excellent fighter-bombers in World War II: Hurricane, Typhoon (Typhoon), and Tempest (Tempest) are all famous.

The works of this old company established in the 1920s all have similar blood characteristics: strong and thick wings, thick main landing gear, towering vertical tail... It is no wonder that Hawke missed the air superiority fighter market because of his natural fighter-bomber appearance.

The last two Hawker fighters to inherit this gene, Fury and Sea Fury, are not well known because they did not catch up with World War II.

Among them, Fury failed to enter the Royal Air Force service, and Sea Fury became the last piston carrier-based fighter of the Royal Navy.Today, many years later, many people know that there is still such a sturdy Hawk fighter through flying competitions.

50架生产型海怒X的首机TF895，在1946年9月7日由试飞员R.V.莫瑞尔驾驶首飞。这些初期型基本上与SR666相同，配备布里斯托2，550马力的人马座XVIII18缸空冷发动机，驱动一副4叶螺旋桨。这些海怒X是空优战斗机，武器为4门希斯潘诺（Hispano）20毫米机炮，备弹580发。所有生产工作在霍克金斯顿（Kingston）工厂进行。

The Sea Fury X began as an air superiority fighter, but with the entry into service of the Seafire Mk.1948 in February 2, the Navy began to question the need for both air superiority fighters.

The Sea Fury has a strong and sturdy structure, and is naturally a fighter-bomber. In addition, it also has the ability to hang bombs under the wings, so Hawke was asked to change the second batch of production Sea Fury into a fighter-bomber configuration.

Thanks to a large number of external weapons on the Sea Fury X: bombs, rockets, mines, and rocket-assisted take-off tests, Hawke launched a combat bomber version: Sea Fury FB with only a few minor changes on the basis of the Sea Fury X. 11.

In appearance, the only difference between Sea Fury FB.11 and Sea Fury X is the addition of underwing pylons, but there are 55 small changes in the interior, including increased armor and other protective measures.In addition to the rate of climb, the performance of FB.11 is close to that of Sea Fury X. This is because the total weight has increased from 4 kg to 835 kg, and it takes 5 minutes to climb to 670 meters. Compared with Sea Fury X It is 9 minutes.After mounting the auxiliary fuel tank, the range of FB.144 is increased from 10 kilometers to 9.8 kilometers.

The internal weapons of FB.11 are still 4 Hispano cannons, and the underwing pylons outside the main landing gear can mount two 227 kg or 455 kg bombs, or 12 rockets (6 rocket pylons need to be added under the wings , there are two slide rails on each pylon), or four 4 kg "triple" rockets (composed of three rocket motors plus one howitzer shell, which is extremely powerful).

After the Sea Fury FB.11, there is the Storm MK.V.

The "Typhoon" was originally designed as a more advanced fighter than the "Spitfire". During use, it was found that the rate of climb and high-altitude speed were not ideal, especially when the aerodynamic characteristics deteriorated during high-speed dives, and it was not easy to change from the dive. In the process of use, it is gradually used as a fighter-bomber and a ground attack aircraft.Hawker began to develop an improved "Typhoon" in March 1940, trying to make the "Typhoon" an advanced fighter as originally envisioned.

After research, changing the shape of the "Typhoon" and thinning the wings can greatly improve the performance of the "Typhoon".Immediately, a wing shape that is closer to the ellipse than the "Typhoon" is adopted, and the thickness of the wing chord is 37.5% thinned by 14.5%, and the wing tip is thinned by 10%.The thinning of the wings reduced the capacity of the wing tanks, so the engine mounts were extended 21 inches forward, and a 76-gallon fuselage tank was added behind the engine firewall.The improved aircraft is very similar to the "Typhoon" in appearance, but the two can still be distinguished from the shape of the wings and the length of the nose.

The British Air Ministry ordered two prototypes on 1941 November 11, called Typhoon II. In the spring of 18, the United Kingdom already had a variety of 1942-horsepower engines to choose from. Hawke proposed several plans for modifying different engines for the British Air Force Ministry to choose again. In order to ensure that the British Air Force Ministry can obtain advanced fighter jets , requiring Hawker to develop 2 and 000 prototypes at the same time for final selection.In August of the same year, "Typhoon II" was renamed "Storm".

The Storm MK.V type is not the best in the "Storm" series in terms of flight performance, but the Saber II engine equipped with it has the most stable performance. Other types of aircraft take longer to mass-produce, and the V-type has become the largest production volume model, and the only model equipped during the war. On June 1943, 6, the first production model (JN21) was delivered to the troops.A total of 709 were produced.

Since they are both produced by the same company, the flying feel of the Sea Fury and the Storm are also very similar.Fast speed, fast acceleration, high-speed maneuverability is also very good, and insane firepower (four-door Hispano).

Although the model of the four-door Hispano is MK.V, the ballistics are not as good as the long-barreled MK.II, but quantitative changes cause qualitative changes. In addition, the ammunition load is very sufficient, and it is very comfortable to sweep.

Of course, there are still some differences between the two aircraft. The high-altitude performance of the Storm MK.V is not as good as that of the Sea Fury FB.11, but fortunately, it is extremely fast at low altitudes. Few fighters with 5.7 can surpass it at low altitudes.

"Storm MK.V and Sea Fury MK.11 are both four-ton heavy fighters, and their gameplay is mainly based on BZ. However, according to Betty's plan, there is still an advantage in choosing them, that is, they can hang two 1000-pound bombs .”

The airport is the same as the war zone, and a certain amount of explosives must be thrown to be judged as damaged.Storm MK.V and Sea Fury FB.11 have a lot of ammunition, and it is also possible to get an assist.

In the endgame, maybe you can hang rockets to the opposite team to harvest a wave, and feel like you can get a lot of points after the game.

Some people may ask why Otowa didn't choose the attack aircraft directly?That's because a large part of the ground licking points for attack aircraft and bombers are allocated to the escorting fighters, but there are not so many problems for fighters to lick the ground.

So it is better to lick the ground than to fight in air combat, it is better to lick the ground, it is better to lick the ground.
