Title: Turnkate
Post by: Greebo on March 07, 2018, 09:46:16 AM

This B5N2 skin was requested by BFoot1 for the Midway scenario, as a substitute for the TBD Devastator that AH currently lacks. It isn't intended for use in the MA.

This TBD Devastator of USS Hornet's VT-8 was flown by the CO Lt Cdr Waldron during the Battle of Midway. VT-8 was wiped out by enemy fighters while attempting to attack the Japanese fleet without fighter cover.

The CM team will need to build that into the terrain, for the event.

We know that the skin will need to be embedded into the terrain. I will submit a suitable IJNAF B5N2 skin in the normal way so that their torpedo bomber players have something to fly. This is a 2048 res skin so I will supply the terrain designer both the full skin and in case that's too big a much smaller but worse looking version with blank effect files.

It looks remarkably similar to the SB2U Vindicator.
