FA-88 Huricane

FA-88 Huricane:  Weapons Class
Real name: Eurofighter Typhoon


 The Hurricane is the king of fast and accurate missile firing.  It can fire missiles faster than any other plane and has excellent missile locking speed and missile tracking.  It is also faster than the Hawken but it does not inflict nearly as much damage per missile/cannon fire as the Hawken.  For 205 coins, it is a bit pricey but if you really want to be the fastest and most accurate missile gunslinger, this is the plane for you.

See PLANE COMPARISON TABLES for detailed assessment of all the planes performance ratings.

Great shot of a fully loaded real life Typhoon

  1. Just for correction, this is a weapons class plane and not a defense one, as listed above his real name bellow title topic.

  2. Thanks, I've corrected - too much copying and pasting. I want to cover all the planes but it is more work than I thought!

  3. I love the FA-88 (thought I could do without the Austrian roundels) in that for a beginner, you can inflict a lot of damage without dogfighting skills (hello pre-Top Gun 1960s American fighter thinking). I don't like it as much in Versus mode in that I can get my rear end kicked by more agile fighters. The Red Widow is my choice for those matches.

    1. RedWidow versus Hurricane : RedWidow is indeed Marginally superior.. BUT If theres a Fight between Two, as skilled Pilot will catch on weapon class Deficiency and beat either... For Hurricane to win it must capitalise of superior manuevers and inlift missile damage to redwidow..While avoiding Close Combats to avoid Cannons...

  6. Has the hurricane been replaced by the j20 chengdu? I now see it instead of the hurricane using the regional trick. I was expecting more classic planes like saber but...

    1. Yup the Hurricane is back.
      With its missile reload speed it can be very useful but it doesn't come with damage.
      I think the hawken is better.

  16. Don't be seduced by its good looks if your planning on buying it make sure it is the plane for you
    I made the mistake of buying when I'm an agility class fighter and now the only time I use it is for the first mission of the campaign
