Country: | He certainly doesn't, and he's very forceful to keep it on topic. He knows a lot on the subject though, just a bit more than C.C. No offence intended.

Country: | I was just wondering, what's the ammo count of the Hurricane IIDs 40mm?

| A quick internet check suggests that the Vickers S guns on the Hurrican were fed by a 15 round drum. I also just learned that the Hurricane was the first Allied aircaft to use rockets.

Country: | I knew the Hurricane IV had rocket racks. That's interesting though. That's a large ammo count for guns of that size.

| It does make for a nice size load. The Ju-87G carried 12 rounds to each 37mm gun, the Il-2 had 32 rpg (I believe), and the P-63 King Cobra carried a very impressive 58 rounds for its 37mm cannon.

Country: | the closest i've come is having optional rockets on a model hurricane, how stupid, they don't even give you rockets for the tiffy................
