The swordfish apparently is either defaulted to a "dummy bomb" load-out, or perhaps purposefully set, but it appears to be the former, since the CV was most likely the spawn source of the planes. Also, the swordfish of course, is generally considered a torpedo bomber plane, and maybe the circumstances of the plane's approach did not allow for a launch, or perhaps they launched and you did not see the torpedo. btw, Your crew will NOT report incoming torpedoes. I suppose that never happened in real life - probably an oversight on the devs part.

Ah, okay, didn't realize that about the Rescue Function. Thanks.

Yes, I would also assume that the Swordfish trook off from the carrier. Naturally, Uboats were historically also attacked by Swordfish carrying DCs. In any case, if that's how the game was developed, than that's the way it is.

A person could "clone" the swordfish, name it similarly, and make the default "Loadout" one of depth charges, and then assign that particular swordfish to the CV / CVE also... Have like a Torpedo Bomber "Swordfish", and an ASW "SwordfishASW", both in the AirGroups assigned to the ships... You'd never know what to look for from a swordfish attack, kind of like the Betty in the US Pacific side, where it can have bombs, depth charges or torpedo, with each plane having a unique loadout... It might also be though, that the swordfish(es??) you encountered had already used their explosive weaponry, and only had the machine gun left with ammo to use on your boat. lol

Okay, not sure I'm up to a task like this ... I think, I'll stay with what is and not run the danger of messing up my game files, trying to doctor things ...
