"Hudson Bomber" in Silent Hunter 5: The Wolves of Steel
 

I'm doing the Operation Drumbeat campaign in Silent Hunter 5: The Wolves of Steel and I keep running into this flying boat patrol bomber that looks an awful lot like a Royal Air Force Coastal Command Short Sunderland flying boat. The thing is, when I shoot one down, my captain's log says its a "Hudson bomber". I can't find that in the museum, so what exactly am I shooting down? Serious answers only, please. Thank you very much.

Sh5 lacks models for many types of aircraft that were used in Battle of the Atlantic. In TWoS (no idea if stock game does this as well) these aircraft are scripted into the campaign, but use 3D models of other planes. Hudson, Ventura, B-18 Bolo are among such units.

Thanks! That explains a lot. That's really weird, though.
