B-18Bs are credited with two U-boat kills--U-654 on August 22, 1942 and U-512 on October 2, 1942. However, their antisubmarine role was relatively short lived, and the Bolos were replaced in this role in 1943 by the B-24 Liberator which had a substantially longer range and a much heavier payload.

In the Pacific, those Bolos stationed in bombardment squadrons in Hawaii and the Philippines were decimated in the initial Japanese attacks and most remaining Bolos were withdrawn to the States and used in training and transport. I suppose you could request the plane in the mods section. See if anyone bites.
