Has anybody (other than me) installed the Swordfish? It's a very nice A/C. Flew the Bismark mission just before last Sunday's FI Coop's. 65minutes in a reaaaal slow A/c ( I feel asleep on TS waiting for the first Sunday mission to come up). The A/C can carry a respectable loadout, but if you're attacking anything other than an unarmed ship, yer pretty much screwed! You have to go to an Italian site for the download (Italy, Swordfish, Taranto...you go figure the irony there!)

Re: Swordfish
Hi - long time no HOTAS , but I've already got a fairly accurate Taranto mission (was set up using Gladiators but if the stringbags in game now would be easy to change.

Re: Swordfish
Playing with a pretty new skin I received I noted that the gunner and navigator are always scanning the horizon, nice touch!
