So yeah, the dated but functional Hurricane allowed the allies to win the Second World War, in both theatres.

Edit- And the lama was the pilot.
No, it was the American supplies sent to the British in massive convoys during those times I tell ya!
Or possibly the Australians who declared war on day 1 and received those supplies while they gave their lives in a war that was a long way from home. Yet still hardly ever get mentioned in stories or movies. I swear, the next Battlefield game better be set in WW2 and have Aussies and Kiwis!
