== Creating pages ==
Sorry to bother you but I have noticed there is no page for the Dover Strait map so I wanted to create one, I was wondering If I was allowed to do this
or not. --[[User:U104303422|U104303422]] ([[User talk:U104303422|talk]]) 18:46, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
: There are currently no pages for air maps but you can create one if you want to. You can get inspiration from a ground map page like [[Sweden (Ground Forces)]]. The wisest would be to start the project on your userpage and create the page later once it is finalised. --[[User:U44629479|U44629479]] ([[User talk:U44629479|talk]]) 14:04, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

:::Yes, you can use the information in it to build your own page but don't copy that structure: it is an older page format no longer used. That's why I linked you the newer format. --[[User:U44629479|U44629479]] ([[User talk:U44629479|talk]]) 16:03, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

== Map page names ==

Hi there,
I had an inquiry about the standardization of ground forces map pages: some of them (e.g. [[Port Novorossiysk]]) are titled as they appear in-game, while others (e.g. [[Abandoned Factory (Ground Forces)]] have "Ground Forces" added in parenthesis even though there is no other page with that name. Is there a standard for this? I would think that the parenthetical addition is only necessary for maps whose names are the same as some other element as the game, e.g. Stalingrad (both an air and ground map) or Japan (both a nation and ground map). --[[User:U36070063|U36070063]] ([[User talk:U36070063|talk]]) 02:21, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
: Yes, it was used to disambiguate between both maps carrying the same name. There is no defined standard at the moment. --[[User:U44629479|U44629479]] ([[User talk:U44629479|talk]]) 18:44, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

== How to add my image to the T-72M2 Moderna's page ==

Hey, I saw you've been editing the page, even protecting and I believe, implementing some of my historical addition.

I was wondering how I can put this image, https://wiki.warthunder.com/File:T-72M2_Moderna.png, into the page as the flagship image, for the "garage" view? I haven't been able to figure it out. - [[User:U118804652|U118804652]] ([[User talk:U118804652|talk]]) 22:55, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
:I did it for you. To add a garage image, You have to name it according to the expected filename (GarageImage_Vehiclename.jpg/png) in the Specs-card. You can read the code when using the "Edit source" button. --[[User:U44629479|U44629479]] ([[User talk:U44629479|talk]]) 23:06, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
::Thank you, I appreciate it. I'm new so I wasn't sure what to name it, I tried tinkering with it, the source on the specs-card, to get the image in, but to no avail. I just decided I'd wait for someone to take care of it. I just made my talk page, I used the templates you had on yours, I hope that's alright, but if you'd like to take a look at it and do anything, I'm not sure if there is a norm of if the contents are automatic, please feel free to improve it!
:::There is no standard to follow for userpages, you can do as you wish. Just don't post personal information for your own safety. --[[User:U44629479|U44629479]] ([[User talk:U44629479|talk]]) 23:21, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

== Sound files on wiki and RWR ==

Hello.

There was a request on forum to add some RWR aviation lists to the wiki some months ago (https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/541328-rwr-list-suggestion/), I may or may not actually make one since I have some time to kill, but I wanted to dump it somewhere into https://wiki.warthunder.com/Category:Countermeasures and add some fluff to it if possible.

By fluff I mean a picture of it working and some noise examples. (I know devs rework noises every other month but internal noises stayed the same for the most part (I think so anyway?)

Is that okay and is there a policy on sound files on wiki anyway? --[[User:U42773747|U42773747]] ([[User talk:U42773747|talk]]) 17:11, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

:After deliberation, you can create a page [[Radar warning receivers]] about RWR containing the infos you mentioned (name, planes, sound files). There is no specific policy about sound files on the wiki, given how few there are. --[[User:U44629479|U44629479]] ([[User talk:U44629479|talk]]) 22:57, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a reserve rank {{Specs|rank}} British fighter {{Battle-rating}}. All-metal single-seat biplane with an open cockpit and fixed landing gear. It has been in the game since the start of the Open Beta Test prior to Update 1.27.

The Fury Mk I is one of the three reserve fighters in the British tree - the other two being the [[Nimrod Mk I]] (a naval version Fury), as well as the [[Fury Mk II]]. As a reserve plane, the Fury isn't a manoeuvrable or fast plane. Its armament, two 7.7 mm Vickers K machine guns, while equivalent to the armament found on most other reserve planes as well as some early rank I planes, can take a while (and a bit of ammo) to destroy targets it will face at [[File:Fury Mk1 an trn 26 001.png|350px|thumb|left|The {{PAGENAME}} tumbling in a dogfight with a He 51 B-1.]]its rank such as [[Bf 109 B-1/L|Bf 109s]], [[CR.42]]s, [[I-15 WR|I-15s]] and even lightly armoured [[Ki-27 otsu|Ki-27s]] and [[A5M4|A5Ms]]. Use Universal or Stealth rounds with the Vickers K guns but keep in mind that unlike the current modelled Brownings as used on [[Gladiator Mk II|Gladiators]], [[Hurricane Mk I/L|Hurricanes]] and [[Spitfire Mk Ia|Spitfires]], these 7.7 mm guns won't do much damage unless you aim for the most vulnerable parts of your opponent's aircraft.

The Furies in all their variants also turn decently, though they do tend to bleed energy easily and aren't the best planes in climbing or acceleration. The modelled fixed pitch prop will mean not much power is around for climbing at the start of the match - a problem also currently shared with the later Gladiators. If you want to use the Fury, the best advice is to side climb a bit at the start of the match so you at least have some energy to work with. Plan manoeuvres ahead and go for easy targets such as inattentive planes and attackers destroying ground vehicles. Most of the problems with the plane are mitigated in Arcade Battles as traits like engine overheating and wing rip-offs are not modelled in that mode.

=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Avia-Armour}}


The {{PAGENAME}} was an aircraft that was stripped of all which was unnecessary to enable it to be the lightest and fastest possible. Like many biplanes just before the start of World War II, the only protection afforded the pilot was the wood and canvas around him and the engine at the front of the aircraft. The best course of protection for this aircraft is to gain the element of surprise as it will not take much to damage critical components or knock out the pilot. All critical modules are concentrated in the forward fuselage area so attacks from the front or the side tend to do the most damage quickly.

* No armour protection
* Largely wood and canvas construction
* Self-sealing fuel tanks

{{main|Vickers E (7.7 mm)}}

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is armed with:

* 2 x 7.7 mm Vickers E machine guns, nose-mounted (600 rpg = 1,200 total)

== Usage in battles ==

[[File:Fury Mk1 an trn 26 002.png|400px|thumb|right|A {{PAGENAME}} watching a He 51 B-1 go down in flames]]
The {{PAGENAME}} is a typical reserve aircraft in that it is an unremarkable plane. It is neither outstanding in speed, its manoeuvrability or even weapons loadout. Though contemporary aircraft may have a speed advantage, beefier weapons or even more manoeuvrability, the {{PAGENAME}} can still find its place on the battlefield in both in air battles and the ground attack game.

;Ground Attack

The {{PAGENAME}} has a crazy low stall-speed which allows it to circle anti-aircraft artillery or anti-aircraft vehicles easily. Though the plane's Vickers 7.7 mm machine guns are relatively weak, they can wreak havoc on the ground targets if enough bullets connect with their targets. If there are no enemy aircraft circling above the Mk I, then it can leisurely eliminate the ground targets, even tightly grouped vehicles. Even without access to bombs, the {{PAGENAME}} can be an effective ground attacker.

;Air-to-air Attack

With many contemporary aircraft using faster firing machine guns, larger calibre guns or just more of them, it will take a skilful Fury pilot to balance or tip the scales. With 600 rounds of ammunition for each Vickers machine gun, there is a lot to work with; however, it is to the pilot's detriment to spray bullets everywhere. To make the most impact with the 7.7 mm rounds, the best chances to hit the enemy are when while in close. The longer the shot, the more likely bullets will either miss or harmlessly bounce off the target. Attacking close in between 100 and 300 m gives the best chances in critically damaging the enemy. Unless the pilot pulls off a pilot snipe and knocks out the pilot, chances are it may take a couple passes to inflict enough damage to send the target to the ground in flames. Close in attacks may offer the best opportunities to damage the enemy, but it can make for some hectic flying.

The 7.7 mm bullets fired at aircraft fuselage do relatively little damage; therefore, it is crucial to target critical components such as the pilot, engines, oil coolers, and fuel tanks to eliminate the enemy effectively. Aircraft wings can also be susceptible to snapping if enough bullets perforate the skin and structure.

One use for the {{PAGENAME}} is as an early interceptor aircraft against bombers. While He 111, Do-17, TBD-1, SB 2M, Ki-21, and F.222.2 bombers have various defensive gunners, they are not impossible to shoot down with the Fury. The pilot does need to watch how they approach the bombers. Typically flying in from the front or the underside of the bombers allows for an unscathed approach. However, if you find that you must approach with a defensive position firing at you, make small adjustments to stay out of the line of fire and wait for the gunner to run out of ammunition before levelling off and taking a shot. Chances are you can knock out the gunner or even work on taking out the engines. A crippled bomber easily allows the more manoeuvrable biplane to make enough passes to finish the job.

=== Pros and cons ===
Fury Mk.1 is hard to implement in combat. It has few advantages over biplanes, and it is difficult to fight monoplanes on it, since the Fury has poor weapons and in a long turning battle it loses all speed and becomes easy prey.

'''Pros:'''

* Turns well for a biplane
* Excellent vertical manoeuvrability
* Incredibly low stall speed
* Great climb speed, easily reaches 3,000 m (10,000 ft)

'''Cons:'''

* Only has two rifle-calibre 7.7 mm machine guns, a challenge to damage enemy aircraft
* Loses energy quite easily, mostly able to turn just once or twice
* Not very beginner-friendly due to its flying characteristics
* Engine tends to overheat, especially so in hot maps (RB/SB)

== History ==

[[File:Fury Mk1 an trn 26 003.png|400px|thumb|right|A {{PAGENAME}} moving on to hit next target]]
=== In-game description ===
The Hawker Fury was a single engine, single-seat biplane of composite structure which first entered service in May 1931. The Fury was designed by H.G. Hawker Engineering Co. Ltd (Hawker Aircraft Ltd since 1933) under the direction of Sidney Camm. The Fury prototype made its first flight in March 1931 and after a successful test and evaluation period, entered production for service in Britain's Royal Air Force. However, the Fury was an expensive aircraft and, with Britain being in the grip of a financial depression, initially only enough aircraft were ordered to equip three squadrons; Nos 1, 25 and 43 Squadrons.

An elegant aircraft with streamlined fuselage contours, the Fury Mk.I was the first RAF fighter with a speed exceeding 322 km/h (200 mph).

Most aircraft were equipped with a 525 hp liquid-cooled in-line twelve-cylinder Rolls-Royce Kestrel IIS engine and a wooden twin-bladed Watts propeller, although several alternative powerplants became available during the Fury's service life.

The Fury's fuselage, wings, and tail had a metal framework and a fabric skin. The skin of the forward fuselage up to the cockpit and the engine cowling was made of duralumin sheets. Ailerons were fitted to the upper wing; nevertheless, due to their large area, they were very responsive and provided the aircraft with a high roll rate.

The armament consisted of two synchronous Vickers Mk.IV, mounted in front of the cockpit. Whilst the Fury was an excellent fighter when it first entered service, it did mark the end of an era as one of the last open cockpit, biplane fighters produced by Britain. Its fixed undercarriage, fabric skin and twin Vickers guns were reminiscent of fighters of the First World War, and when it was replaced in front line service with the RAF in 1939, it truly was a relic of a bygone era.

A total of 117 Fury Mk.I fighters were produced, in five series.

==== The Furies were armed with: ====
'''United Kingdom''': Fury Mk.1 and Mk.2 Squadrons in service:

No. 1 Squadron RAAF - February 1932 - November 1938

No. 25 Squadron RAAF - February 1932 - October 1937

No. 41 Squadron RAAF - October 1937 - January 1939

No. 43 Squadron RAAF - May 1931 - January 1939

No. 73 Squadron RAAF - March 1937 - July 1937

No. 87 Squadron RAAF - March 1937 - June 1937

'''Yugoslavia''': Fury has been upgraded for Yugoslavia. Yugoslav Fury was equipped with a 745 hp Kestrel XVI engine and are often found with machine gun mounts under the wing. Yugoslavia has purchased 10 Furies which arrived in the UK. Licensed production of 40 of these Fury was organized in Yugoslavia at the factories Ikarus (24 units) and Zmaj (16 units). At the beginning of the April 1941 invasion of Yugoslavia, 25 Furies operated: 35th Fighter Group: 109th Fighter Squadron - 6 Furies, 110th Fighter Squadron - 5 Furies 36th Fighter Group: 111th Fighter Squadron - 7 Furies, 112th Fighter Squadron - 7 Furies.

'''Iran''': For Iran (then Persia) a modification was made with a Pratt & Whitney Hornet S2B1g radial piston engine and a three-bladed propeller. Iran ordered 16 of these Furys in January 1933. Six more aircraft with a 550 hp Bristol Mercury VISP radial piston engine (410 kW) and a two-blade propeller were ordered in May 1934. Several Hornet-powered Furys were upgraded.

'''Spain''': Improved version of the Fury Mk.I, three hulls powered by a 700 hp Hispano-Suiza 12Xbrs engine. were built for Spain. They were sent unassisted to Spain on July 11, 1936, unarmed until the start of the civil war. The cars that arrived were supposed to be models for their proposed construction at the Hispano-Suiza plant in Guadalajara, with the aim of using the Nieuport-Delage NiD 52, but due to the war, work was completed. They were transferred to the Republican Spanish Air Force. One of these Furies, Pilot Sergeant Felix Urtubi, was killed in an emergency landing on Francoist territory, was captured and repaired, but was not included in the group. Sergeant Urtubi managed to escape. Another Republican aircraft was used during the defense of Madrid until it was shot down in November 1936. The first aircraft entered the armed forces of the Republic until 1938, when it was written down due to the availability of spare parts.

'''SA''' ('''Union of South Africa'''): acquired 7 machines in 1937. With the outbreak of World War II, 24 Furys were transferred to them from the RAF reserve.

'''Portugal''': A modified version of the Fury Mk.I, three aircraft powered by a Rolls-Royce Kestrel II piston engine were linked for Portugal.

'''Norway''': One test engine, powered by a 530 hp Armstrong-Siddeley Panther IIIA radial piston engine. was built for Norway, but the order for Fury Norway did not fit them.
