That is a great idea, that would also add to the realism of the game, as most WW2 torpedoes failed to detonate most of the time.

And to launch a torpedo the pilot would of had to fly at a low altitude and slow speed as they had to judge when to drop it. Due to the fact that if the torpedo hit a tuft of a wave it would veer of course and miss the intended target.

Towards the start of WW2 America was still figuring out how to use their torpedoes and also their carriers which would also have an impact on how well the pilots we're able to launch successful torpedo attacks.

You'll have to ask Keltos about it being launched from a swordfish, i would have thought that adding it as a hole would be better, rather than adding it to one type of plane only.
