Pacific Fighters - Any Torpedoes?

Does Pacific Fighters now allow you to launch torpedoes?

I'm asking because I thought the original release was lacking this feature.

That feature was supposed to be added in a free patch but who knows if
we will ever see it or not?

p.s. I don't even want to play it without torpedoes. CFS2 pulled the
same stunt. Back to 1942: PAW.

Really? Why not?

There is some incredible fun to be had in this sim, torpedos or not...

Because I want realistic attacks on ships, that's why.

Too funny! Is it true that 1942 PAW was the last sim that allowed us to use
torpedoes??

You can divebomb. That's realistic. That said, I agree with you - WTF is
with a Pacific theater game without torps???

And get ready for the most intense AAA you have seen yet in this sim !!
I like torp run's, but ya got to get good at launching from a distance to
survive. Tho AAA is scaleable in the sim now................

That's if you install PF over the top of IL-2/AEP, right? I install it
standalone because I don't have AEP.

Against the carrier it depends on where you approach it. Go low in at
it's stern and you escape almost all the AAA, but lower area to
hit. Go in from the side and you're almost asking for suicide

In one of the in-game recordings, there was a japanese fighter (can't
remember which) that dropped a torpedo against a ship.

What engagement(s) would I expect to realistically find them?
Can they carry photon torpedos?

I still hold a slim hope that the coming patch will take care of these (and
other) rather glaring ommissions, or at least UBI/1C will help third parties
complete the sim but what I see on the PF forum is not encouraging.

The last complete Pacific War sim was written for DOS yet UBI/1C seems to be
eager to abandon PF in favor of yet another European sim.

Well, they won't see a penny from me for BoB if they do.

Correct.

Get IL2-FB Gold Pack. It includes IL2-FB and AEP. I saw it at EB Games for
$29.99 today, and I'm sure you can get it cheaper than that.

Yea, but I already have IL-FB, it's just that my local store never got
AEP in, just the Gold pack. I'm not buying the game again just for AEP
and using those planes in the Pacific Theater is ahistorical so I
don't really want to do it that way to get torpedo bombers anyway. I
want the PF's torpedo bombers that were promised to us in a patch.

It won't happen. Sorry...(not that I'm not pissed too - it's a weak
decision on Oleg's part).

I agree. Yay - a Battle Of Britain sim! I haven't seen one of those in SO
LONG!!

If Oleg really wanted to do something unique he'd write a Korean conflict
sim - from the Russian perspective, of course...

It won't happen, I am sorry to say. You won't ever see true torpedo combers
in the Pacific unless they're decked out He111s.

Haha...the double DVD box was the best thing about PF's.

I have to comment on this one too.

"The engine of IL-2 was designed in the same manner and it still have
at least 2 years in it, it`s very flexible"

Put a fork in it, it's done.

Connected,
You mention CFS2. Are there any third party add on airplanes for CFS2 that
will actually drop a torpedo? I thought I saw an Avenger for download for
CFS2 but maybe it was just pretty to look at and not a functional torpedo
launcher in the sim.

I've never seen one with usable torps. If there is one you will find
it here.
