An old thread yes, but it's no Point of starting a new one on the same topic..

I Think that the Swordfish would be a fun plane to have, especially the Mk II. w rockets. It could definetly find good use as a spotter/GV-hunting Aircraft. With 1500lbs of bombs or 8 rockets it can be a great tank killer, 6x 250 lbs bombs is a very good loadout for the role.

I'd take up the stringbag, but there is also a case to be made for the Gladiator and the Fiat CR.32

Would love to have them as well, altough they would only be used in scenarios, the swordfish can atleast hunt GV.s but a Gladiator is way to slow for the MA.
