The hunt for Bismarck is exciting, but SOW:BOB (or whatever it name will be) is probably going to focus on dogfighting. As you know, the airwar against Bismarck was without any participation from Luftwaffe. I suppose such a mission will have few people flying it. The Swordfish itself is a plane that probably falls under the "crap-plane" designation. As a shipborn torpedoplane it was really good, but only in areas where there was little or no aerial oposition. And as such, it is a relatively uniterresting plane in a dogfight sim.

It is possible to use the stock IL-2T plane and the Tirpitz allready in the game to create a mission that resembles the hunt for Bismarck, but it is of course not the same without the correct plane.
