Description

The Typhoon Mk Ib in the garage


The Typhoon Mk Ib is a Rank III British fighter with a battle rating of 3.7 (AB), 4.3 (RB), and 4.0 (SB). This aircraft has been in the game since the start of the Open Beta Test prior to Update 1.29. While the Mk 1b is a slightly downgraded Typhoon Mk Ib/late in regards to flight performance and engine power, the main difference from the 1a is the vastly upgraded armament options including 4 x 20 mm Hispano Mk II cannons and larger bombs and rockets.

History

The Typhoon MkIb was an evolution on the earlier MkIa on a quest for better overall performance. An upgraded engine the could take higher boost settings and aerodynamic improvements on the fuselage and wings increased speed and climb capability. The four cannons and the improved hardpoints under the wings made it ideal for the ground attack tactics employed by the RAF in 1943 over France. The Spitfires and Hurricanes were quickly replaced by the Typhoons in this very dangerous mission profile, flying close to the ground and exposed to AA. The Typhoon was also used in a defensive role as interceptor against fast German fighter bombers coming across the Channel.

The Typhoon was not the easiest aircraft to fly and came as a shock to the pilots used in the much lighter and nimbler Spitfires and Hurricanes. Problems were engine reliability and vibrations, a swing (turn) on takeoff due to the huge torque from the engine and propeller even with full opposite rudder applied. In the cockpit before the introduction of the later bubble canopy, visibility was limited and carbon monoxide from the exhaust would find its way in, use of oxygen at all times became mandatory. While flying missions crossing the English Channel, the danger of ditching was always present and the configuration of the scoop air intake below the engine made the outcome of such an event highly doubtful.

An excellent addition to the article will be video guides, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
