What if the Fleet Air Arm received Sea Hurricanes when it received Blackburn Rocs?
Short answerSea Hurricanes would help, especially from 1941, but would not radically change 1939-40 because the Fulmar was already effective in its intended role.
NotesThe Sea Hurricane offers greater speed and agility but still presents armament and sustainment questions, while the two-seat Fulmar produced many aces and met Royal Navy needs. Its larger effect would arrive as fighter performance moved ahead in 1941 rather than producing an immediate transformation in 1940.
