de Havilland Hornet

[Don Bowen]

Does anyone have AE specs for the de Havilland Hornet F.1, F.3, and PR.2??

This is the Hornet that needs to be added to the game.[:D]

Thank you Sir. Is this from one of the new mods??

[DuckofTindalos]

Nope. I just made it. It's straight SWAG...[:D]

BTW, remember that the Hornet had the ability to carry both bombs and rockets at the same time.

Got'cha. SWAG is always better than UnSWAG, which would be the best I can do.

Google fails for specs on the F.1.

The F.1 was broadly similar to the prototype Hornet.

It was a little bit faster than the F.3 when fully loaded, had no bomb capacity (only rockets), had slightly smaller fuel tanks and was a little less stable in flight, because it lacked the F.3's extended vertical tailplane (if you look at the F.3, you'll see it had a sort of extension of the tail along the fuselage towards the cockpit, which the F.1 lacked).

It's mostly cosmetic stuff.

EDIT: The F.1's fuel tanks totalled 360 imp gallons, the F.3's 432 imp gallons, the PR.2 528. The recce bird also had no cannon or external weapon mounts.

The FR.4 was the recce version of the F.3, retaining its cannon and having slightly less internal fuel tankage.
