MISSION SELECTION: This unit counts as either a Dive Bomber or a Torpedo Bomber. (Choose the unit's role when you place it during the Air Mission phase.)

On a 4 or higher, this unit can make either a Bomb attack or a Torpedo attack during the Air Attack phase. You get -1 on each attack die for that attack, or roll one less attack die for that Torpedo attack.
FAA Overstack - A UK Carrier with a basing capacity of 3 or fewer can base one additional Aircraft that has this ability.
Determined - This unit gets +1 armor for each friendly aborted or destroyed aircraft in its sector
Iāve just brought a copy of the new Osprey book Royal Navy Torpedo-Bombers Vs Axis Warships. Quite interesting and Iām trying to glean some ideas for the Swordfish. What ever version gets printed why donāt we add the following SA.
Fatal Torpedo - When ever this unitās torpedo attack damages a battleship or cruiser that unit suffers the effect of crippled for the rest of the game.
This represents what happened to the Bismarck. Add Surprise raid and a swarming SA and it may make it worth itās 10 points.

I would think this is a minmum 10 point unit especilly with the Bomb Attack, Determined Attack, and the Determined/Brave/etc...
