I've heard other players reporting this. Never seen it myself. But at least there are several of you that are crazy...

I have found out that the "hudson1" comes in two variants, the torpedo variant (see previous post) and the "bomb" variant (see picture), Wat the F*ck is going on here ????????

Cute, thats not a Hudson, thats a Beaufort in drag [:D]

What scenario is that (and version pls).

Looks like someone's record 148 weapons fit has been copied to record 147.

That is how the NZ Hudson's are configured in the database for scenario #14.
In scenario #15, they are configured as per standard Hudson layout.
Might be a OOB issue.

Actually looks like the aircraft type is out of sync with the weapon load.
Similiar issue as experienced with ship class being out of sync.
I have dropped a note to Pry just in case it is wrong.

I've seen this with Wellington's arriving before the Beaufort I's. The fix is easy, just upgrade the planes.[;)]

The much larger and more powerful PV-1 Venturas and PV-2 Harpoons were
descended from the Hudson and were theoretically capable of carrying an aerial torpedo though neither ever conducted a combat drop of one. I'm pretty sure that
the torpedo did not fit entirely within the bomb bay.
I'd be pretty surprised if the Hudson was capable of carrying an aerial torpedo and utterly amazed if it ever did so.
