Allied bases lack anti-maritime capability

Well, at least it does at 4.

Last night, when flying for the Allies, Mjollnir and I took off at 4 only to find that the japs had been able to maneuver a battleship group and a cruiser group off the S coast fo the island.  (good for them, bad for the allies)

We decided that those boats needed to be killed but the only options for planes were the Spit, Hurri and Dhog.  The only options for cars were the M-3 and M-16.  Given that we were under aerial attack, climbing to altitude meant either death from the puffy flak or death from the IJN.  The only option left us was low level rocket attacks on the boats (and we suck w/ rockets).

We were the only ones willing to fly into the mouth of the dragon so we were doing only 2 ship formation runs on the boats.  Needless to say, we were losing about four hogs for every boat we killed.

Can the allies please have PT boats or TBMs or SOMETHING with torps????
