Hi Mobhack
Would it be churlish of me to point out that none of the bomb configurations from your links match what you have in the game?

or, one 1,500 lb mine

Which is obviously the weapon the OOB designer seems to be representing here. Air dropped mines as HE weapons were sometimes used in WW2, by all sides.

Given the Swordfish is not a regular support plane, it would be useful in a scenario where it was doing a night raider type attack, delivering a "cookie" in support of, say, and LRDG attack, I suppose. But not really as a daylight attack aircraft, it would be dead meat.

It is there, and of a unit type that is only for human use, so you can use it if you want to, or ignore it if you do not.
