I remember that someone here at subsim managed to make a plane fire torpedoes instead of bombs at the submarines.

I need a TBF Avenger aircraft that can fire a torpedo at us IJN submarines

Then what I need is for that torpedo to be a MK24 "Fido" homing torpedo (=MK27).

Those were used both in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters against submarines, resulting for example in the sinking of I-52 in the Atlantic helped with the use of the first sonobuoys.

As this aircraft/weapon combination was a truly potent and historically accurate one I would like to see it implemented in our japanese campaign.

Who can help ?
