Just looking for some player thoughts;;
There are some cards out there with the Grumman Avenger as a Dive Bomber and thats, all well and good not knocking anyones ideas on how the unit should be done.
The Avenger did have a roll outside of Torpedo Bombing and ASW; Laying Mines; Airborne Fighter Control;Horizontal Bombing; and of-course a form of Dive Bombing called by some sources Glide Bombing not quite the steep Dive Bomb approach of your typical DB's. Note RB did represent that well with Alt Payload
It wasn't particularly successful in this type of attack; but was used.
For my own experiences if I'm going to use expansion i mostly prefer the Sea God Decks; SO
Do you think their is room in the future for such a Sea God unit??
Some other usage notes; by late war on smaller carriers only Fighters [Note FM2's] and Avengers where used; Avengers making up one third of all small carrier aircraft;
I do see some nice uses for this unit in that type of scenario play; but not without some restrictions.
I personally like the idea of an AWS attack value and an every turn Bomb Attack; but possibly not allowing Expert Bomber; An alt Torpedo Attack and a cost of around 12.
Any thoughts??
