Grumman TBF Avenger and higher altitude torpedoes.

I wish we had that torpedo.  Just last night, as I was flying around in a TBM, I spotted a Tiger tank approaching our town.  I rolled and dove on it, releasing my torpedo at 600yds and just watched it bounce off the turret without exploding.  Then I realized that I was way too fast for the drop and thought, "Damn, if only I had the Mk III torpedo, I would have wasted that Tiger."  Live and learn my friends, live and learn.


ack-ack

torepedoes cant work like bombs can they?

[C(Sea)Bass]

yeah thats early to late and was taken over by douglas as the sbd but it would be a good ad to early and mid war, since the sbd is late

You got it backwards. The SBD was replaced by the SB2C.

No. My friend Ack^2 was being entertainingly facetious.

You got it backwards. The SBD was replaced by the SB2C.

"The Curtiss SB2C Helldiver was an American aircraft carrier-based dive bomber aircraft produced for the United States Navy during World War II. It replaced the Douglas SBD Dauntless in US Navy service. Despite its size, the SB2C was much faster than the SBD it replaced. Crew nicknames for the aircraft included the Big-Tailed Beast (or just the derogatory Beast), Two-Cee and Son-of-a-B**** 2nd Class " -Quote wiki.
