While you're at it, didn't somebody have some crazy idea about putting 2 torpedoes on the wings of a P-38?

...I may have just made a last-minute change to Focus Pacific to include torpedo capable Venturas and Harpoons based off of this post...

In Focus Pacific you get the Skypirate, which carries 4(!).

You could probably get 8 torpedoes on a Sunderland.

They are too valuable to risk on torpedo strikes though.

P38s rock because of the centerline guns: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCySYJK ... 2BEF0C4655

I don't see guns on this P38, it does not rock....

This was only tested stateside and never became a serious option for the P-38

Is not torpedo supposed to go into water at an angle? That one on the photo would have it stressful

That's because it's actually a surface-to-air torpedo.

I would rather have one of these. Very easy sub hunting, among other things. I'm sure the Gorn is familar with this vessel....GP

From Joe Baugher

The next F-version was the P-38F-1-LO (Model 222-60-15), which differed from the P-38F-LO in being modified after delivery to carry a pair of drop tanks or a pair of 1000-lb bombs under the wing center sections. Each rack could also carry a Smoke Curtain Installation or a 22-inch torpedo. This version had SCR-525 and SCR-522 radio. 149 of the P-38F-1-LO version were built.
