I have a question regarding the British torpedo bomber replacement--following an unfortunate attack on enemy carriers that left my british torpedo squadrons shredded, I was checking when I could replace them. It seems as though the Albacore Is produce 8 per month until 08/42, but after that ceases there is no more British production until 1944.
Am I missing something? I doubt my carriers will have much value without torpedo bombers (especially the Hermes which only has a TB squadron).
I pretty much make a point of avoiding using British carriers against anything but the most innocuous of targets until about 1944. For most of the war the British used the few carriers they could spare in the Indian Ocean pretty conservatively. With her slow speed, the Hermes is best tucked away somewhere safe until better times come along.
Unfortunately I've managed to already get their torpedo squadrons shot up. I'm scrambling to get more planes (after an unfortunate day the Hermes was down to 1 plane) but as I noted the replacement rate just isn't their for British torpedo bombers.
I'm thinking of bringing over some Marine units to put on the carriers. If I do that, how much training do they need to become carrier trained?
) slipped my mind, and i cannot find the answer............ What is the altitude that is considered low ground bombing?
