Barracudas cannot use the ASW bonus of the jeep carrier ?Re-read the British jeep carrier special ability, expert ASW, and it limits the bonus to torpedo bombers. Since the Barracuda is a Dive Bomber as written on the card, does this mean Barracudas cannot use the expert ASW special ability? Seems to do so, but seems strange to me.
Perhaps the jeep carriers were so small that Barracudas could not operate from them, and only the tried and true Stringbags would be used.

That's what mission selection is for. Barracuda is torpedo bomber too.

Guess I should read the WHOLE card carefully.

Thanks ND.... I was pondering this point as well and had the same initial mis-reading. It's almost a disappointment because it would have given the Swordfish a niche.

I was sort of hoping the same thing, but, NOPE, the Barracuda completely obsoletes the stringbag, in so many ways, for only two more points cost.

Depends on the year limit you play with.

Nah... Fencer and Barracudas are both 1943. Really Stringbags need a better anti-battleship SA. Then they could be worth 10pts
