Should we add in the Swordfish?
« on: March 29, 2010, 04:47:17 PM »
One of the oldest dedicated torpedo planes of WW2 was a regular stringbag. It was responsible for crippling the Italian Navy in the European Theatre. A biplane whose design dates back to the pre-war era, the Swordfish was outdated when it entered service. Not that we really need another plane, it's just that I think it would be an interesting addition to the carrier air war. Please post your approvals or rejections below, and be sure to add your reason to your opinion to your post. Thank you for your involvment.

With only the current fleet to launch a torpedo at No.

Why say no to adding anything if time and resources permit?

You could add it but as slow as it was I don't know how much use it would get even it early war arena.  Still though it is a signaficant historical aircraft for it was the plane of choice for the raid on Taranto and it struck the damaging blow to the Bismarck.
