http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f16/MattShipwrighter/SuperHurricane.png
The Super Hurricane is the latest model of Questarian Warplanes. It uses top of the range detection systems such as prismatic ironsights and night vision goggles. Its powerful engines allow it to travel to an amazing 510 km/h and its six 12.7mm machine guns will rip any plane apart. It flies out of the range of any SAM at 22,000 feet.

WHO WANTS TO BUY!

From: Captain Alex Henderson
Re: Super Hurricane

Before I even make an offer, I would like to know the price of such a, well designed, piece of modern machinery.

IC:[[over MSN of course ;)]] ROFLOL

OOC: Is this MT? If it is, here are some tips.
1)Can you give us any more info on the plane.
2) Being the fact that Gary Powers in his U-2 was shot down by a SAM at 100,000 feet by a SA-2 developed in the 1950s, how would this plane fly over any SAM (Since almost any fighter can fly at 60,000ft, even airliners fly at 35,000ft).
3) Will your plane be within range to use its guns when a fighter with US AMRAAM or a Russian AA-10 shoots it down from twenty miles away?

((OoC: NE, he wasn't completely serious, believe it or not.))

I hope not. I'm into military aviation so, I saw this and I thought 'WHAT THE HELL?'

((OoC: NE, he wasn't completely serious, believe it or not.))
ooc: I think the whole point was to see if anyone would take this seriosly enough to order it..As with that ship design he posted on the draftroom (and it's so barmy that it makes this seem sane)

Bah six .50cals, is lame what you want is quad Hispano 20mms or maybe a pair of 40mm Vickers S guns...

Unless of course those .50s are properly developed Vickers weapons and not some american/belgian bit of fluff.

Bah, it's got nothing on my super-duper, turreted, biplane torpedo bomber!!!@#!#!@

Maybe he meant Flak Cannons?

I'm convinced that it was a joke or a prank to see who would purchase, and perhaps even deploy, this airplane.

*Random n00b* "I will now deploy my Super Hurricanes to combat your air force. They can fly at 22,000ft to avoid SAMs and can shred any airplane!"
*n00b then watches as the planes are swatted out of the sky by modern technology.* "NOOO!!! My air force!"

At that altitude even hand held sams are a threat..I'd love it if someone fielded these against me.:D

Yeah, right? I'd love to see some n00b go "We declare war on Neo-Erusea. Don't try to talk me out of this. We've already sent a carrier with 1,000 Super Hurricanes to your capital." Then he watches as my NF-12s (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=11478344#post11478344) down them in 10 seconds.

Well, they could be useful if you played the NS WWII RP...

Of course they're proper vickers guns! None of that Yank twattery!

Anyway, it's not a joke ffs. This was the backbone of my airforce (during the opening [and I stress opening] stages) of the Juumanistran war. You can buy them if you like... I don't suggest it.
