Just consider the inaccurate loadouts to be "what if" or "field mod" loads.

Well its also up to mission builder. You could easily just go in under plane limitations in mission builder and remove wrong loadouts. Now for SBD-5 I noticed another thread talking about depth charges and anti submarine warfare. Believe the Americans would have used mk 17 and later mk 41 depth bombs.

Another interesting fact: The early SBDs could carry a smoke tank, but cool as it would be, would be next to useless in game.

Good book on the subject: Naval Weapons of World War Two by John Campbell
