See Rules #2, #4
Dude,
Whether a Devastator or an Avenger what difference does it make? The American torpedoes used during the period were the same. If it were launched and it ran true, your targeted ship is going to sink or maybe not. American torpedoes were notoriously unreliable. Which plane you used to get the torpedo to it launch point did not matter. You know that HTC has to weigh the difference between the development time on the TBD devastator and how much players are going to use it in the MA.
Stand back a couple of rows and look in on what is being argued as opposed to what the purpose of scenario actually is. How far off are you from its intended purpose?
Wow! like to have fun... Plain and simple. Everyone just wants to have fun. Your chance of caughting a 50 cal. to the brain in aerial combat with a Wildcat are pretty slim in RL. But guys that appreciate the period come here to try and feel what was going on then in the minds of a few kids that were flying combat planes to their deaths.
Think a little bit less of yourself and little more of the guys that are trying to relive this experience.
I think that should justify the TBM in that case. Because your not going to get the Devastator in time for the event.
Can we agree to end it here as far as the plane sets are concerned?
