Torpedo/Dive Bombers

Post by Q-Ball »

Question; how does one know what planes, in game, can act as both Torpedo and Dive Bombers? I guess the question is, what torpedo plane models can dive bomb?

The B7N Grace and Fairey Albacore I know are 2 models that historically had this dual capability (and maybe the Swordfish?)

Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks!!!

The Barracuda was a dive bomber/torpedo plane

Nah, the question is what dive bomber plane models can carry a torpedo. In the editor B7N Grace is a DB with torpedo loadout. Only Allied Barracuda II and III are like that, nothing else

The Grace as well but it never carries the big bombs. Not all aircraft that actually did dive bombed is modeled in the game as such. The Fulmar is one of those.
