Talking of "easier" or "harder" would WC2 be with or without torpedoe salvo...
Had Broadsword an afterburner - it wouldn't need a salvo mode. But the way it is - the big slow target Ralatha would blow in pieces with her main gun - it needs salvo mode very much (opposed to Sabre, which is fast enough to survive a second torpedo attack approach to an enemy destroyer).
I hated fiercely the slow ugly flying coffin named Broadsword, when it was about the torp missions.
When patrol or something else... it was ugly, too... but is had its chances to survive. But damn slow torpedo attack on Ralatha, watching her aiming you much faster than you get close enough to launch a torpedo...
I just can't get it - why such a ship (I mean the Broad) didn't have afterburners?
Was it SO VERY OLD? Built before afterburners came to existance?
Why wasn't it upgraded then?
And... the even more ugly Crossbow (hated in Russia very much) which was supposed to be the newest bomber - why hadn't it the burners?
I mean - it is clear enough that it was the intent of Origin - make bombers very slow opposed to fighters.
What I would want to hear - the explanation of WCU reasons.
So... any ideas?
P.S.
It would be fair enough to take salvo mode away from Sabresm but still give it to Broads.
P.P.S.
In the film the Broads DID HAVE A SALVO MODE, by the way....
