Somehow the torpedoe bombers on my carriers almost never fly. I have Vildebeests and Swordfishes flying out of Rangoon that sink loads of ships with torps but not my Devastators. Here is my usual setup: Escort Fighters 10.000 feet Dive Bombers 10.000 feet Torpedoe Bombers 2.000 feet. I set the TB's low to make sure they use torpedoes and not bombs. Any idea what is going wrong? Sometimes their refusal to work is really annoying: Afternoon Air attack on TF, near Lunga at 114,138 Weather in hex: Heavy cloud Raid detected at 40 NM, estimated altitude 24,000 feet.
