The [[Anvil Aerospace|Anvil]] A4A '''Hurricane''' is a fighting [[Ships|spacecraft]] that packs a deadly punch into a slight fuselage. The spacecraft compensates for its lack of creature comforts with its powerful armament: six [[Ship Weapons|ballistic guns]] capable of blasting their way through nearly anything. Hurricane pilots have yet to find an enemy [[shield]] they can't knock down.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=pledge/ships/hurricane/Hurricane|text=Hurricane Ship Page}}</ref>
The '''A4A Hurricane''' is a heavy fighter developed by [[Anvil Aerospace]]. The [[Ships|spacecraft]] offsets its absence of luxuries with formidable weaponry, featuring six [[Ship Weapons|ballistic guns]] that can penetrate almost any obstacle. Despite its compact design, it delivers a significant strike, and its pilots have not encountered a defensive [[shield]] they are unable to breach.<ref name="HurricaneStore">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/ships/hurricane/Hurricane|text=Hurricane Store}}</ref>

{{Vehicle hardpoints}}

The Hurricane is fast, but not nimble, and is designed to charge in to threatened areas before rushing back out to regroup. It is a close- to mid-range ship, similar to the [[Gladius]]. It is designed to work with other fighters and support ships rather than for long-range patrols. A small power plant, zero cargo space, and weak shields and hull emphasize its role as a fragile attack ship; relying on the raw speed of its engine and the hull-busting power of its guns to protect itself.

The Hurricane features a powerful quad-gun turret in its centre, allowing for a gunner to support the pilot with accurate fire as well as other multi-crew features like radar and missile locks; leaving the pilot free to focus on maneuvering the fragile ship. Both the pilot and gunner will have ejection seats to protect themselves if the ship is critically damaged.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/transmission/15765-Anvil-Hurricane-Q-A|text=Hurricane Q&A Part 1}}</ref>

==History==
{{Main|Casse Aerospace#Hurricane}}

<tabber>
Origins=
{| class="wikitable"
|-
The Hurricane was originally developed in [[2607]], during the [[Second Tevarin War]], by [[Casse Aerospace]]. It was specifically designed to destroy [[Tevarin]] ships as quickly as possible the moment their [[phalanx shield]]s failed. The Casse Hurricane suffered some setbacks during the testing phase. Though pilots liked the power-to-weight ratio and the extra punch its quad-turret offered, the high degree of coordination needed between the pilot and gunner had a very steep learning curve. Because of this, the Hurricane didn't enter active combat until [[2609]]. While they were used to devastating effect in a few instrumental actions, the war ended shortly after their deployment in [[2610]]. Although it was effective during the war, it soon fell out of favor and was quickly decommissioned after [[2615]].<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=media/86vuj7ajf1bavr/source/Hurricane-Brochure.pdf|text=Hurricane Brochure}}</ref><ref name="jumppoint2" />
|}
|-|
Redevelopment=
{| class="wikitable"
|-
During the second major [[Vanduul]] [[Vanduul Skirmishes|incursion]] in [[2871]], a UEE report showed that the longer a human pilot was engaged in combat with the Vanduul, the less likely they were to survive. In response, the [[UEE Navy]] requested new concepts for an alpha strike fighter that had enough "focused firepower" to quickly destroy Vanduul fighters. [[Anvil Aerospace]] redeveloped the aging Hurricane design in order to quickly produce a fighter that the Navy needed. The updated design still bore all the hallmarks of [[Leonard Casse|Casse's]] original, but with the addition of Anvil's proven conflict expertise. The result was a game changer for the war effort, and in 2878 new wings of Hurricane were being deployed by the Navy on the front-lines.<ref name="jumppoint2">[[Will Weissbaum]], [[David Ladyman]] and [[Ben Lesnick]], [https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/15787-Jump-Point-Now-Available ''Portfolio: Casse Aerospace''], [[Jump Point (magazine)|Jump Point]], vol. 5, no. 3, pp. 30-33, 2017-03-18.</ref>

During the [[The Fall of Caliban]], the Hurricane proved to be very effective in clearing out Vanduul fighter wings, allowing many civilian convoys to evacuate safely from the [[Caliban system]]. It's success against the Vanduul have made it a key component of both the UEE Navy and Marine fleets.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=media/86vuj7ajf1bavr/source/Hurricane-Brochure.pdf|text=Hurricane Brochure}}</ref>

Pirate Usage=
{| class="wikitable"
|-
Although the Hurricane was only produced for the UEE Military until 2947, several pirate groups have stolen them since their Anvil redesign. Most prominently, the [[Argul Dawn]] and the [[Otoni Syndicate]] have used them very effectively to ambush and disabled cargo convoys. The Argul Dawn was so efficient with their Hurricane wings that the [[Advocacy]] launched several high-risk raids against the Argul Dawns headquarters at [[Echo Eleven]].<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=media/86vuj7ajf1bavr/source/Hurricane-Brochure.pdf|text=Hurricane Brochure}}</ref>

Even though it is one of the oldest ship designs still flying, Anvil brought it to the civilian market in 2947.

The A4A Hurricane is a heavy fighter developed by Anvil Aerospace. The spacecraft offsets its absence of luxuries with formidable weaponry, featuring six ballistic guns that can penetrate almost any obstacle. Despite its compact design, it delivers a significant strike, and its pilots have not encountered a defensive shield they are unable to breach.[1]

Features

Turret
The vehicle featuring a powerful manned turret in its center, which can carry up to four Size 3 guns. The gunner can support the pilot with accurate fire as well as other multi-crew features like radar and missile locks, leaving the pilot free to focus on maneuvering the ship.[1]
Weapons
In additional to the manned turret, the ship also has a pair of Size 3 guns beside the cockpit as well as a pair of racks that can hold a pair of Size 2 missiles each.[1]
Tactics
The Hurricane was designed as a "Zoom and Boom" fighter, unloading its full complement of guns at a target in an attack run before flying away at high speed to reload, recharge, and avoid return fire. It is a close- to mid-range ship, similar to the Gladius. It is designed to work with other fighters and support ships rather than for long-range patrols. In groups, the Hurricane favours using alternative waves of attack runs, with counterattacks facing the full crossfire of multiple Hurricanes.[1]

Lore

Main article: Casse Aerospace § Hurricane

The Hurricane was originally developed in 2607, during the Second Tevarin War, by Casse Aerospace. It was specifically designed to destroy Tevarin ships as quickly as possible the moment their phalanx shields failed. The Casse Hurricane suffered some setbacks during the testing phase. Though pilots liked the power-to-weight ratio and the extra punch its quad-turret offered, the high degree of coordination needed between the pilot and gunner had a very steep learning curve. Because of this, the Hurricane didn't enter active combat until 2609. While they were used to devastating effect in a few instrumental actions, the war ended shortly after their deployment in 2610. Although it was effective during the war, it soon fell out of favor and was quickly decommissioned after 2615.[3][4]

During the second major Vanduulincursion in 2871, a UEE report showed that the longer a human pilot was engaged in combat with the Vanduul, the less likely they were to survive. In response, the UEE Navy requested new concepts for an alpha strike fighter that had enough "focused firepower" to quickly destroy Vanduul fighters. Anvil Aerospace redeveloped the aging Hurricane design in order to quickly produce a fighter that the Navy needed. The updated design still bore all the hallmarks of Casse's original, but with the addition of Anvil's proven conflict expertise. The result was a game changer for the war effort, and in 2878 new wings of Hurricane were being deployed by the Navy on the front-lines.[4] During the The Fall of Caliban, the Hurricane proved to be very effective in clearing out Vanduul fighter wings, allowing many civilian convoys to evacuate safely from the Caliban system. Its success against the Vanduul has made it a key component of both the UEE Navy and Marine fleets.[5]

Although the Hurricane was only produced for the UEE Military until 2947, several pirate groups have stolen them since their Anvil redesign. Most prominently, the Argul Dawn and the Otoni Syndicate have used them very effectively to ambush and disabled cargo convoys. The Argul Dawn was so efficient with their Hurricane wings that the Advocacy launched several high-risk raids against the Argul Dawns headquarters at Echo Eleven.[6]

Even though it is one of the oldest ship designs still flying, Anvil brought it to the civilian market in 2947.

Development

2014-11-12 Originally the Hurricane was an option in the poll for the third starter ship[7] but it lost to the Reliant. The concept was subsequently changed to a heavier fighter that offers dogfighting-focused pilots a ship that relies strongly on firepower at the expense of armor.
2017-02-25 It was officially revealed in 2017-02-25 in the Anvil Hurricane concept sale.
2017-03-02 The Hurricane's concept is designed by Justin Wentz (Conceptist), and Paul Jones (Art Director).[8][9]
2018-06-30 The ship became Flight Ready with the release of Star Citizen Alpha 3.2.0.[10]

Design brief

Aims
  • Heavy hitting support role — very vulnerable alone, very dangerous in groups.
Aesthetic
  • A taller, thinner Hornet — the Hurricane is a bullet delivery service
  • Barely armored
