Since no one has ever modeled the TBD Devastator, I have been getting along with a skinned B5N Kate.  Unfortunately, it does not work with 4.10.1/UP3.0.

Sure would be nice to see someone paint the historic Midway Devastator skin for VT5, VT6, and VT8.

BTW, am I the only one who notices the usage of the TBD [pre-war skins for VT6 USS Enterprise] in the banner yet we have never had a TBD!  Would be nice someday.

I love the underdogs of war, and in that scenaio the Devastator is the king of all underdogs. The best had been that it never enter the war. The only credit it gaind was to deveart the aaa away from the SBD's during battle of Midway. And totally cleaned out a whole squadron. This ugly and very slow bird has nothing going for it, and yet I want it soo bad

Actually, the Japanese took down three whole squadrons of 16 aircraft each.  It wasn't just the ship AAA either.  The CAP Zekes were pulled down to sea level and the SBD's came in without being noticed until they were in their dives.  Were it not for their [the torpedo squadrons] courage, Midway might have been much different and so the fate of the Pacific war might have been much different as well.  They referred to themselves as Torpeckers.  They deserved to be honored with at least a skin, if not a full blown aircraft model. The price has already been paid.

A.I. TBD's will be in 4.11, but we don't know if 4.11 will be compatable with SAS mods.
You may have to have two separate  IL2's.....UP4.101 and 4.11.
