I always wanted this, i never use a plane with only one engine if i can get one with two ;-) But is it possible to build in the level stabilizer and the bombsight (Not the stuvi, of course)? Best attacking is diving down from about 2000 m to 10 or 20 m, switch on the stabilizer, aim trought the bombsight (at 90 degrees) and drop the torpedos, when the lighter guns of the enemys ship starts to fire. That's quite far away so the sight is needed and you can't use it without the stabilizer. There is nearly no chance to survive if one attacks from a much nearer point.
Well, it appears to me this only works for stationary ships. Does anyone know kow did they aim IRL? What kind of aiming device did they use for torpedoes when targeting moving ships? Any chance to see this device in this 88?
