It was a pig, but historically important enough. As soon as HTC are done with the Beaufighter, they can consider this :)

Yup. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SB2C_Helldiver

Good for events.
Not without Japanese attack aircraft actually from he '40s.  The Japanese are already at a severe disadvantage due to their 1937 D3A1 being matched against a 1943 SBD-5 and their 1938 B5N2 matched against a 1942 TBM-3.  Would have been nice to at least get the extra 40mph brought by the 1942 D3A2....

+1 They should also add the Japanese Judy Divebomber as well. But the SB2C would be a better addition since it played a large role in sinking the Yamoto.

This is him in the lead ship in both photos.

Won't be perked, not by a long shot.  FAR too many AC we have now that would do the job a lot better and even dogfight after. :)

The only other CV AC that has 4 20 mils, the F4U-1C, is perked for a reson, CV attacks would mainly consist of them otherwise. For this reson HTC MAY perk it.
