II didn't appear until later in the war. .303 calibre bullets would not have been able to puncture the pressure hull. If NTGM Hurricanes in 1939 have cannon, something is badly wrong.

The cannon-armed Hurricane Mk IIC is I think the only one available in the game. It's something we've had to live with. I agree that the .303 machine guns were rather weak in the steel-penetration department, they were deadly to exposed crews and I don't think they would have ignored the possibiliy of an accidental penetration. I know I would be prone to dive an any circumstance, just in case.
