What in your opinion is the better torp dropper in the game?

TBM or JU88

Havnt flown the 88 torp version but im gonna go with that...

Ju88

2 Torps = 1 stop shopping.

 JU-88 is faster and a smoother flying aircraft. And yes, two torps  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

what about survivability??

does the Ju88 survive most torp runs?

80% of my torp runs in the TBM result in me going down in flames..

the88's torps are faster aswell, i survive tbm runs more oftem but only because their torps have longer range.

My guess is that if you are dieing 80% of the time on your torp runs in a TBM, you will die 80% of the time in a JU88.

Minimize or eliminate the Ack danger by learning to deploy at longer ranges.

To have any chance in the JU you have to use real world tactics..

Front quarter launch on the CV, thats the only way you stand any chance of surviving and it increases the range at which you can launch.

I see alot of rear quarter torp launches at the fleet which is a total waste of time, if launched at such a range that there is a chance of survivability.
