wheres the swordfish?
« on: November 21, 2010, 04:38:37 PM »
it was a torpedo bomber...

was a bi-plane, I think early or mid war, low or med armor, and slow.

No chance until the B29 is finished, because of it's collosal impact in the air war (systematic burning and nuking excepted)

What did the Stringbag accomplish? Bismark schmismark

The Stringbag sank more tonnage of Axis shipping than any other torpedo bomber.

It would, however, be a complete sitting duck in AH.

     I'm just wondering what kind of fabric medium armor is?  Low aka no is accurate though.
The Swordfish sank more than the Avenger?  Wow.

Those RN Fleet Air Arm Swordfish crews were about as hard as you can get. Everyone thinks the Japs invented the Kamikaze, the fact is the Japanese monoplanes were much more likely to get through to their targets than the old stringbags.  This one should be included (at some point) simply out of respect.  :salute

It's hard enough to do a torpedo run on a CV already with a TBM, You'd be lucky to get within 2k of it in the swordfish.  :rofl
