would be awesome to have this in the game :airplane:

+1

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

+1 oink

IIRC, that thing had Hispanos.

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....

Relax. I'm not against Imperial Japan additions. :D
-
+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.
-
All of the above... I'll even put in a boost for the Vultee Vengeance. It was a total pos...

Yes. My grandfather flew this brute with his last assignment. VB-81 The HellRazors
This is him in the lead ship in both photos.

Definitely a +1 from me! :aok
-
I just thought, the May perk it! :( I really hope they don't.
-
May not perk it but may make the handling reflect it's beastly rep. :cool:
-
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.

SB2C had two 20mm cannons, not four. You need a Firefly to get another with four.
-
Well, look at the success with the Tu-2 and it's not perked!
Another one would be the La-5N - it has 2 cannons and not perked...
"La-5N is fun"
-
There is no way the SB2C would be a perk plane. The idea is absurd.

Hehe, from what I head, pilots that converted to the SB2C wanted their SBDs back :)

Yeah, the early marks suffered from horrible handling characteristics. It took until the -3 and -4 before they finally got the kinks worked out.

My grandfather used to talk about how he would have taken his Vought Vindicator back instead of the Son of a Beetch 2nd Class let alone the his beloved Dauntless but ...he did say that after they received the later dash variants it started to grow on him a bit. He was eventually impressed with the amount of damage it could absorb and get him back aboard his carrier but he never really fell in love with its handling.

I'll take one Helldiver please. :salute
You get more with a kind word and a gun, than you do with just a kind word.

My Hurricane would like a word with you...

There is no SeaCane.... :noid

Sorry, was a bit of wrong info but I ment to say the only LW/ Figter with higher ENY.
-
The beast? 7000 units produced, many "targets" destroyed ( though I'm highly skeptical of those who say it destroyed the most Japanese targets of any warbird -the problem lying in the definition of target)... It clearly qualifies under the criteria of the game. I don't want to fly it but I'd love to try to smash one to bits with a George or hayate. It'd be a real challenge to try to kill one with an Oscar.

Which it didn't. The only US weapon that sunk more tonnage than the Dauntless was the submarine.
-
And that's part of the reason... If tonnage is the yardstick, dauntless. If it's square footage of city made uninhabitable, or building count, for that matter, ni-kyu-ju, as they called it. That claim was in wiki, and I'd want to examine the Metric they based it on . Sounds shammy...

Here's a picture of a SB2C-3 doing a fly by near the IJN cruiser Kashima at Jaluit Atoll in the Marshall Islands.

The SB2C that should be added to the game should be the SB2C-4 model as it added the ability to carry 5 inch HVAR rockets in addition to a more powerful engine.
