-=== In-game description ===
+{{break}}
 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.
@@ Line 200: / Line 202: @@
 The armament consisted of two synchronous 0.303 inch Vickers Mk.IV machine guns with 600 rounds per gun, 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.

-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 fast plane. Its armament, two 7.7 mm Vickers K machine guns, are suitable but inferior compared to other reserve or BR 1.0 fighters due to their small caliber and relatively slow muzzle velocity. This means the Fury can take a while (and a bit of ammo) to destroy targets it will face at its rank such as [[Bf 109 B-1/L|Bf 109 B-1]]s, [[CR.42]]s, [[I-15 WR|I-15s]] and even lightly armoured [[Ki-27 otsu|Ki-27s]] and [[A5M4|A5Ms]]. Keep in mind that unlike the current modelled Brownings as used on [[Gladiator Mk II|Gladiators]], these 7.7 mm guns won't do much damage unless you aim for the most vulnerable parts of your opponent's aircraft.
