Wow, antique biplane in FH2 ? This team will always amaze me ! Which other game could argue they have a Hawker Hart ou Hardy ?

I suppose it was made for Keren but will it saw another use ?

Now we need a Cr.32  ;D

Wow this came very unexpected, I never expected an varient of the Hawker Hart (I know the Hawker Hart only a few months where corgi diecast introduced it), now which italian counterpart can we expect CR.42?

* Flippy Warbear has a flashback to the pre-2.0 newsupdate about Swordfish.

I hope you're not implicating that this cutie will just sit in the files, unused and abandoned, like the poor old Swordfish... :P

What happened to the Swordfish anyway?
Is it only intended for naval maps or could one not use a version with bombs for the North African theatre?

Oh and I would love to see some Soviet stuff  ;)

Talk about obscure. Only in FH2 would one even dream of having such a plane - even in IL-2 this would have been considered "not interesting enough". 8)

MFW Commonwealth is still spotting in North Africa with the Cub instead of Lysander (unless Hardy would actually replace it), and there is no sight of my beloved P-38 Lightning in Cobra, Meuse 1944, or Bastogne.

Your right. Not even in IL2 mods you see the Hawker Hardy

Good job on the Hawker, guys. It's absolutely beautiful. And hella original too. Indeed way too obscure and I love it all the more for it. I never really got into the pre WWII biplane era back when I was really into airplanes, but this sure is a nice re-introduction.

But, no tailgunner? And what's its payload gonna be?

FH2 is the game, DarklyDreamingDexter is the name.

Most likely 4x25-50kg bombs.

Armament was a single forward firing synchronised Vickers, one rear Lewis (on Scarff mount), and iirc up to 200 kg of bombs.

I like those planes with that shape.Like Avia B-534.They look fast and maneuvrable,and to be well armed.

Thanks. Now I knew about the guns, but in the picture the rear MG isn't there.
