[whiteman]

Ugly and blue, i like it

Saw one fly at the NAS Pensacola Airshow last week definitly not the sexiest bird.

did it have to fly for you to realize that lol?

No, the deck isn't stacked against the Japanese in late war setups enough yet.

Well, the Japanese faction already has two; if not three dive/torpedo bombers. The U.S. faction only has the SBD-5 and the TBM-3. Reason why I'd love to see the Helldiver being added is to go along with the Hellcat fighter. The Helldiver was also along with the Corsair, so with the Helldiver being the most recent of U.S. dive bombers; it should be added.

And the Japanese should be stuck with the D3A1 to use against the US in scenarios.  1943 SBD-5 and 1944 SB2C against the 1937 D3A1. Sounds very fair.

That is leaving aside the fact that the US fighters all act as very good adhoc dive bombers.

No I knew it was ugly but it looks like a school bus up in the air.

Definately add the helldiver but a more modern japanese dive bomber would be nice after that.

Old Thread but I want to vote for the Helldiver. 

[Wmaker]

Another American bomber aircraft. That's about the last thing this game needs.

Personally, I'd like to see the TBD Devastator before the SB2C Helldiver.  Reason being, a more accurate Coral Sea/Midway Scenario.  And I would fly it in the MA's in a scout role.  But that's me.

I still say +1 for the Helldiver, but I hope it comes in a package deal.  TBD Devastator, D4Y Judy, B6N Jill and the SB2C Helldiver.

I'd just like to have a dive bomber that has a credible guns threat. I fly the SBD and Val, but you have to get your guns on and keep them on for a LONG time to kill an enemy aircraft. The Hispano 20mms in the Helldiver give you a chance to defend yourself.

Plus it was the most produced US dive bomber of the war.

ok JUDY and helldiver!!!!!!!!!!

2 forward firing 20mms? eh probley perked
