Description
The Fury Mk II is a Rank I British fighter
with a battle rating of 1.0 (AB/RB/SB). It has been in the game since the start of the Open Beta Test prior to Update 1.29.
The Hawker Fury Mk II is a slightly improved version of the Mk I, this time featuring WEP. Both of them are reserve planes for the British tree.

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Turns well for a biplane
- Incredibly low stall speed
- Prone to wing breaking in a shallow dive (RB/SB)
Cons:
- Sluggish acceleration and climb rate (equipped with fixed-pitch prop)
- Only has two rifle-calibre machine guns that do not usually do much damage to the target
- Loses energy quite easily, mostly able to turn just once or twice
- Not very beginner-friendly due to its flying characteristics
- Engine tends to overheat, especially so on hot maps (RB/SB)
- No armour, open cockpit
History
The Hawker Fury (Mk I) entered service in 1931 and was the first RAF fighter to exceed 200 m.p.h. in level flight. The Mark II was even faster and both types of Furies remained in service with various air forces right up to the start of WWII.
A special version fitted with a Bristol radial engine was built for Iran/Persia, but most 'normal' Furies had a Rolls-Royce Kestrel of 525 hp or 640 hp.
Many other versions of the Hawker Fury were made, including the Yugoslav, Persian, Norwegian, Portuguese and Spanish Furies.
The Fury was armed with 2 x 7.7 mm machine guns.
