Description

The Mörkö-Morane is a premium rank II Swedish fighter with a battle rating of 2.3 (AB/RB) and 1.7 (SB). It was introduced in Update 1.97 "Viking Fury". The Mörkö-Morane is a license-built copy of the M.S.406 for Finland, as shown with its Finnish camouflage and markings.

Main differences between the original M.S.406 and the Mörkö-Morane is the engine and nose mounted weapon. The M.S.406C1, which is featured in the game, has a Hispano-Suiza 12Y-31 12-cylinder inline engine and a 20 mm Hispano 404 cannon with 60 rounds of ammunition. In contrast, the Finnish Mörkö-Morane has a Russian Klimov VK-105P 12-cylinder inline engine and a 12.7 mm Berezin UB heavy machine gun with 230 rounds of ammunition. The new engine provides the Mörkö-Morane with over 300 more hp than the M.S.406C1.

Survivability and armour

The Mörkö-Morane has no armour protection (armor plates or armor glass) for the pilot nor the critical components of the aircraft, this is a recurring theme at its BR and on different variations of Morane Saulniers. But thanks to the shape and size of the sturdy fuselage the pilot dies rarely from direct hits. Catastrophic fuel tank fires are also semi-rare due to the good positioning of the fuel tank (between the pilot and the engine). Though if the Mörkö does catche fire it usually breaks the engine or kills the pilot rather quickly.

The Russian Klimonov VK-105P inline engine can take a surprisingly large amount of punishment, from the enemies and the pilot as well. It has quite a long WEP time which is limited by oxygen deprivation at higher altitudes, meaning that the WEP cannot be used after a certain altitude. The engine and its cooling systems can usually keep going long enough to get the plane and pilot back to the airfield on most maps after being hit. Provided the engine doesn't catch fire.

Armaments

Offensive armament

The Mörkö-Morane is armed with:

• 1 x 12.7 mm Berezin UB machine gun, nose-mounted (230 rpg)
• 2 x 7.5 mm MAC 1934 machine guns, wing-mounted (300 rpg = 600 total)

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
