we need a Curtiss SB2C-3 Helldiver
« on: July 31, 2009, 04:39:40 AM »
This was the replacement for the SBD Dauntless it was faster it had a longer range and it could carry more bombs but it was late being delivered in to war but it was still a 2nd class plane. It was still better then the SBD but the program was nearly canceled but eventually over 7,000 were made to work.The reason i want this plane is because its better then the SBD but it is a WW2 game and since it was delivered in to action a little late may be the reason we don't have it now so.Its still better then the SBD-3  :rock :salute what do you think of this plane.

Never realized 1943 was late in the war...Curtiss Helldiver did not enter combat until 11 November 1943.
