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 ?

There is a US torpedo plane in the game and it will drop torpedos and can hit you. I did a quick mission and they do work and did hit me. But only with one torp out of 3. But of course there were only 3 planes so that is not a lot.
It is the ATB_USTorpedoBomber. It also looks very similar to the one you have a picture of, so I think it is supposed to be the same one, maybe not 100% accruate in detail but how many planes have you actually seen in the game? And of the ones you have seen, how many were close enough to identify? Not many I'm sure.
