 '''Bomber Hunting''' - The two 40 mm cannons can be deadly against any aircraft they hit. Bombers particularly fit into the category. They are generally big, slow targets that are easy to hit with the otherwise inaccurate and difficult to aim 40 mm cannons. Usually it only takes one or two hits. The HE rounds in the air targets belt work particularly well, but for certain targets, the AP rounds are more suitable. Heavily-armoured aircraft like the B-25 or the IL-2 can sometimes shrug off the HE rounds, due to their low penetration values, but the AP round can be deadly. For particularly large targets like the BV 238, you can even use rockets, which are sure to cause massive damage.
-'''Last resort fighter''' - The aircraft can, however, be used as a pure fighter. Selecting bombs, and dropping them after takeoff, leaves you with something of a 'Super Hurricane', as its engine puts out over 300 more horsepower than any other Hurricane and is thus significantly faster. This also allows nice turning ability, as through sheer power the aircraft will lose less energy in sustained turn fights than comparable aircraft such as the Bf 109. The obvious tradeoff however, is the woeful armament of just two 7.7 mm machine guns. With good aim, and well-placed bursts, the Hurricane Mk. IV can be fairly effective even with this armament. The extra engine power also allows this Hurricane to climb better, dive better, turn faster and hold its own better in vertical engagements than all other Hurricanes. With the larger radiators and tropical filter, overheating isn't much of an issue, so the full engine power can be capitalised on. However, this use of the aircraft in this role could only be described as fairly niche and only suitable for skilled players, as for most the twin 7.7 mm machine guns will simply be too ineffective against aircraft of this BR. Nevertheless, it can be a powerful weapon to keep in your locker, a 'Super Hurricane' in terms of flight performance, with a sad tradeoff of woefully inadequate armament. Of course the 40 mm gun pods can address this, but they affect flight performance so badly that all of your advantages will be negated.

 '''Ground Attack''' - Being a little more agile than the usual attacker, but still very well armed, the Hurricane Mk IV makes a good ground attack aircraft. The 40 mm cannons can penetrate most vehicles from a steep angle or from the side with armour piercing ammunition. However, they cause very little post-penetration damage and are inaccurate. Against light vehicles they can be very effective, but heavily armoured vehicles like [[KV-1 (Family)|KV-1s]] and even [[T-34 (Family)|T-34s]] can usually shrug off the 40 mm rounds. Beware that the cannons are very hard to score hits when aiming for smaller targets, unless you zero the guns to a short distance. The guns also have a very large recoil which makes them furthermore inaccurate. The RP-3 rockets are another good option. A direct hit with one of these rockets to the side/rear/top of an enemy tank will cause serious damage. They cause good explosive damage and can penetrate around 60 mm of armour, but are quite inaccurate and hard to aim for inexperienced players. You also have access to 250 lb and 500 lb bombs, which are ideal for taking out singular high value targets.

 Boom & Zoom is the main tactic to use for this Hurricane. The turn rate of this aircraft cannot compete with most other nations, and it has very poor energy retention. The best thing to do in this aircraft is to climb at the start of the round and go bomber hunting, as it is extremely efficient at shooting down the slow, less manoeuvrable targets it will be pitted against at its battle rating. Take your time when taking a shot, tank calibre guns are not meant to be wing mounted and are very inaccurate as a result, so if a shot doesn't look good to you, '''do not fire'''. Boom and zoom is the tactic that should always be employed with this aircraft. Climb, find your target, dive, fire, then using the speed gained in the dive, climb away. Rinse and repeat. Under no circumstances should you attempt to turn fight with this aircraft. Almost any other plane will be able to out turn you. If you do find yourself with an aircraft on your 6, dive and gun the throttle. You should be able to out dive most aircraft. In a ground attack role, this aircraft can be used in much higher battle ratings, where the rockets / 40 mm's remain effective, even against heavy tanks.

-The Hawker Hurricane Mk IV was the last major production modification of the Hurricane series. The main feature was a new wing design, which could mount eight RP-3 rockets or two 40 mm Vickers S guns for attacking ground targets. The Hurricane Mk IV may have been equipped with more powerful Merlin 24 or 27 engines, but it is disputed. The Mk IV Hurricane received an additional 350 lb (159 kg) of armor protection for the pilot, radiator, and fuel tanks. A dust filter was added for operation in desert environments.

 The Hurricane Mk IV was used as a ground attack aircraft in the European theater until being replaced by the Hawker Typhoon in 1944. It was noted that the top speed of the Hurricane when armed with RP-3 rockets was reduced significantly, and the Hurricane had high losses against German anti-aircraft batteries. One example of this occurred on 20 December 1943, when No. 184 Squadron RAF attacked a German V-1 flying bomb launch site. The squadron of four aircraft was equipped with Hurricanes, and only 1 plane survived the flak long enough to attack the target, with the other three being shot down before they had the chance.
