I have my Dauntless and a Devastator on the carrier. I do not see an option to switch them from bombs to torpedoes. I am using the new beta patch they made available for download, and it is supposed to have fixed this.

Thank you!

I'm guessing that the full patch change only works on the TBM/TBF and SB2C, though it may work on only the latter in the hotfix. IRL the Dauntless never carried torpedoes and the Devastator was only used to carry torpedoes. The Helldiver was designed to be able to carry torpedoes but never did, while the TBM/TBF carried either payload in numerous historical WW2 battles.

I also cannot switch the USN torpedo bombers even after applying the hotfix and starting from scratch. I wouldn't expect the SB2C, or any dive bomber, to be fitted with torpedoes, but I don't pretend to have expert knowledge about that. However, fitting torpedo bombers with bombs was fairly common -- I believe former president George H.W. Bush was flying a TBM that had been loaded with bombs when he was shot down as an example.

The TBD was equipped as a level bomber. They could carry a third crewman who would lay flat on the floor of the aircraft and sight with the bombsight through a window in underside of the aircraft beneath the pilot. The bombsight window was normally covered by twin doors that opened like a miniature bomb bay. I only believe they carried the bombs and the bombardier during the Marshall and Gilberts raids.
