I don't know if anyone has posted this method before. But I figured out how to get Japanese planes to drop torpedoes. The down side is that they release them early just like the American torpedo planes do. I'm working on the early release thing (unless someone's already figured that out?). I'm using SH4 1.4 for this.

Anyway, here's how I got my Japanese planes to drop torpedoes for my missions:

Go to the drive where you have SH4 installed.
Open the SH4 1.4 folder
Then open the Data folder
Then open the Air folder

*REMEMBER to backup the cfg file*

*Now you will be opening the CFG file for the ATB_USTorpedoBomber*
Double click on the ATB_USTorpedoBomber folder
Now double click the cfg file and you will get a caution message.
Now click the Open With... box
The next box will ask you what you want to do.
Choose Select the program from a list and click OK.
You should now have a Open With box
Choose Notepad then click OK

*The CFG file is now open in Notepad*
Scroll down to:
[Loadout 3]
Name=Torpedo
Type=4
Copy the above because this is what you'll be pasting into the CFG of the Japanese plane you want to drop torpedoes.

You now want to back up to the Air folder
Then you'll open the folder of the plane you want to drop torpedoes (I chose the Kate)
Then open the cfg the same way you did before (mentioned above)
Paste:
[Loadout 3]
Name=Torpedo
Type=4
at the bottom of the cfg.
Close the CFG file and say yes to saving the changes.

Now create a mission with the plane you just altered and see what happens.
