How dangerous would the Dauntless be with the Skua's dive-bombing sight, and would the US Navy accept British folding wings?
Short answerIt would be more accurate, and the US Navy would probably welcome the useful folding-wing modification.
NotesThe British dive-bombing sight is rated highly and should improve the SBD's accuracy. More accurate delivery makes the aircraft more dangerous without requiring a larger bomb load. The US Navy would have little reason to object to a folding-wing modification developed for British deck and hangar constraints. The combination improves carrier fit and weapon effectiveness without changing the aircraft's central role.
