Title: SB2C Helldiver
Post by: C(Sea)Bass on March 30, 2007, 08:42:11 PM

I would really like to see this plane added as it was used throughout the war and has a higher payload and top speed than the SBD.
                     
SBD-3  Dauntless vs. SB2C-1 Helldiver
Speed: 250mph vs. 281mph
Armament: 4xMG's vs. 2x20mm's and 2xMG's
Payload: 1,200lbs vs. 2,000lbs

I am not sure on the stats for the later varients of the Helldiver but it was improved later in the war and served well into the 1950's. There is also personal reasons for this as a friend of my family flew a Helldiver on the Yorktown during the war.

PS: By "Throughout the war, you mean "late war" right?

By throughout the war I meant it was designed in 1939 but wasn't used in any numbers untill late war due to production issues.
