Static GV's are worth points, why are there no points listed for Static Ships? ;)

I mean what else can a Swordfish really do?

JABO:
I'm not sure why we are having to use the Swordfish. We are already experiencing a deficit in numbers and I don't see a similar a/c on their side. Is there any reason why we can't fly a B25C, again, instead?

Jabo is trying to use the limited tools he has to keep it as historical as he can.
To use the actual aircraft would mean including Gladiators and Blenheims.
We have neither...
I think you were lucky to get a ride in the B-25 which did not even make an appearance in Greece.
The Wellington would have been a better choice historically speaking (And I think it did make an appearance in the Battle of Greece)
See here for the British order of Battle:

Both sides are experiencing a numbers deficit.
The Germans did not bring any biplanes to the battle and we do not have any Italian bomber aircraft.
The JU-87 is still a death trap if it runs into enemy fighters.
The Axis is supposed to have greater numbers in any case.

Jabo does the best he can.
Issues with the aircraft match up should have been addressed earlier (IMO).
It's all about the challenge and doing the best you can with what you were given.
Endeavor to persevere!

Ships are necessary to close docks or seaplane bases which are a good swordfish target. Someone should try a torp on a dock to see if it goes down.

Wasnt sure if there would be that many ports etc for targets for the allies so left out ships.

Thanks Madcat your explanation is much better than mine.

swordfish also carries 3 500 lb bombs which is not to shabby.

Darryl, you need to fly the Swordfish at some time. I think it would make sense to use them 1 step each of the last 3 frames, or, you will all end up in Swordfish in Frame 5 :shock:
