What if Arado had decided to stay with biplane torpedo bombers for the Graf Spee class carriers? A German Fairey Swordfish...

I think thats very cool and will make very nice target practice for our valiant boys of the Royal Navy ..long live the Queen !!  :wacko: : ;)
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Looks similar to the dive bomber Arado designed:
