OT: Beaufighter attack on merchants

[triad773]

Inspired by a similar thread not long ago (sorry of which I cannot remember where here) a airborne torpedo attack. Screenies from Ubisoft IL-2/1946. Quick Mission Builder, Beaufighter with torpedoes on anti-shipping patrol. Mk 18 torpedoes loaded.

My wingman and I looking for merchant shipping in the straight.

I see a couple of ships and drop a present for them.

I thought at first I dropped my ordnance too soon...

but I hit anyway.

Nice screenies http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/25.gif Especially the last one, nicely composed shot!

I miss playing 1942, in that game you could do it all, fly torpedo & dive bombers plus flying fighters - and great graphics too http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/25.gif
