Not at all similar to the Kate, the TBD Devastator is an old, colourful plane that makes it instantly recognizable. | Not at all similar to the Kate, the TBD Devastator is an old, colourful plane that makes it instantly recognizable. Why people would paint a warplane such bright colours is unknown, but the Devastator is still a fine torpedo bomber, if a bit of an easy target. Manoeuvrability and stability aren't main issues when comparing it to the TBF/D Avenger, so use it as a torpedo bomber whenever possible. Unlike the Avenger, it isn't useful for anything else since it can't equip bombs or depth charges. It is equipped with a single machine gun, making it the most lightly armed aircraft in the game. However, because it is mounted directly on the nose, its accuracy is quite high. | ||
'''Official Description:''' ''The Devastator has been in service with the US Navy as a carrier-based torpedo bomber since 1937. When it entered service, it was the most advanced plane of its type in the world; however, the rapid advancement in aviation technology meant that the Devastator is now considered obsolete and was replaced in early 1942 by the TBF/D Avenger.'' | '''Official Description:''' ''The Devastator has been in service with the US Navy as a carrier-based torpedo bomber since 1937.
