TBF Avenger

The TBF Avenger is an American torpedo bomber that appears in Call of Duty: The War in the Pacific.

Performance
The TBF Avenger is a fairly quick aircraft, being able to strike targets quickly and then safely retreat, however, it is slower than Japanese fighters, making it vulnerable to attack from the air. It has good armor, meaning sustained fire is necessary to destroy this plane, this is made difficult however by the two rear facing .30 Caliber Machine Guns, which can deter some aircraft, especially considering how lightly armored the Japanese fighters are. It only has one machine gun in the front though, meaning it is terrible at strafing lightly armored ships and dogfighting. The torpedo carried by this plane is devestating however, especially to larger ships which are unable to move out of the way fast enough, only a couple are needed to cause serious damage to the heaviest of warships, however. PT Boats are untouched by torpedoes, as they are so low in the water.
