Correct/missing planes in SH4

PBY's with British insignias (Catalinas, really).

I tried to transfer some of these into SH4. It worked but I wasn't able to make them behave properly.

My interest in this stems from creating cool life-like scenarios, lately as an aid to illustrate my "Saving MacArthur" book project.

An example below:

1, 2: Seaplane carrier IJN Chitose torpedoed outside Davao by USN Vindicators. Should have been the missing Devastator.

3: USS Bagley passing the sinking IJN Nagara in Bangka Sound, north-east Celebes

4. The SBD Dauntless is missing (my Hobby Master 1/72 diecast model).

Yeah, the Vindicator was a dive bomber. At least the British did have Catalinas. I don't know much about the Vindicator, maybe it could carry torpedoes as well.
