== Armaments ==
=== Offensive armament ===

{{main|Browning M2 (12.7 mm)}}

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is armed with:

* 2 x 12.7 mm Browning M2 machine guns, wing-mounted (310 rpg = 620 total)

=== Suspended armament ===

{{main|AN-M64A1 (500 lb)|Mk.13|Mk.13/44}}

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' can be outfitted with the following ordinance:

* 4 x 500 lb AN-M64A1 bombs (2,000 lb total)
* 1 x 2,216 lb Mk. 13 torpedo (2,216 lb total)
* 1 x 2,216 lb Mk. 13/44 torpedo (2,216 lb total)

=== Defensive armament ===

{{main|Browning M2 (12.7 mm)|Browning (7.62 mm)}}

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is defended by:

* 1 x 12.7 mm Browning M2 machine guns, dorsal ball turret (400 rpg)
* 1 x 7.62 mm Browning machine gun, ventral turret (500 rpg)

== Usage in the battles ==

As with all torpedo bombers, maintaining low altitude, high speed, and fighter cover are all recommended. The optimal distance for launching a torpedo is 1 km from the target. Targets should be engaged from directly ahead or astern, making "leading" the target much easier. If torpedo bombing is not an option, the plane can carry bombs for attacking ground targets.

The Avenger lacks much significant armament, but in a pinch it can serve as a fighter. The aircraft is not particularly fast or maneuverable, but, continuing the trend among mid-tier American aircraft, is extremely durable.

Fly low and fast, head towards your target drop your ordinance and bug out. However, If there are no hostile fighters, in the area. Destroy some enemy ground installations. E.g. AA, light vehicles, landing crafts and anti-tank positions.

'''''Simulator mode procedures''''' 
Hands-off carrier take-off (Auto engine control): Start engine, flaps: raised, elevator trim: 0%, aileron trim: 0%, rudder trim: 14% right, WEP throttle, hands off controls until you lift off the carrier.

Level-type carrier landing final approach (Auto engine control): Drop any secondary weapons you may still have, make sure your alignment with the carrier and heading are good for landing, use your stick to hold an altitude of 40 m/120 ft, slow down below 200 kph/125 mph/108 kt, elevator trim: 2%, aileron trim: 18%, rudder trim: 0%, after gently slowing down to 123 kph/77 mph/67 kt set throttle to about 55% (you will have to adjust throttle a lot, though), just before the carrier (less than 1 km/0.62 mi) cut throttle and reset all trim to 0%, landing should be easy after that.

* Performance is a secondary criteria for an attacker. The focus should be on improved armament, especially the upgraded torpedos make handling them much easier. The machine gun upgrades are not really needed, the normal M2 Browning does well enough. The turrets however profit and gain longer and more accurate fire. Of course performance upgrades do not hurt, ''Compressor'', ''Engine'' and ''Engine Injection'' should be essential pick-ups, the rest on the other hand can be scheduled to the end of grind.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Robust construction
* Adaptive secondary ordinance for different maps e.g. naval and ground based operations
* Very good vision from pilot's seat in cockpit
* Great stability
* Good defensive gunner coverage

'''Cons:'''

* Limited bomb selection for a bomber
* Wing mounted 12.7 mm machine guns factoring in convergence
* Poor low altitude performance, especially when turning
* Slow
* Touchy controls, tends to over-respond to small control inputs (SB)
* Ventral gunner has little protection, easily knocked out
* Only has landing flaps

All apart from one, was lost.

'''Eastern Solomons''' - Aug. 24/25th 1942 
Admiral Yamamoto informous naval counter-strike 24th of August. the opposing naval forces met; the US Navy had only two carriers: Saratoga (VT-8) and Enterprise (VT-3). The Imperial Japanese Navy (I.J.N) had the carriers: Shōkaku, Zuikaku and a light carrier Ryūjō By August, TBF's had been delivered to the two ships. 
26 TBF-1 avengers from the VT-3 and VT-8 where lunched. Their torpedos, helped to sink the light carrier I.J.N. Ryūjō. Seven avengers were lost.
