Lore

In 1944, a small, nimble, but powerful bomber was needed. So, the C-10 was updated for military service, now outfitted with a “High beam” bomb sight [Using new camera technology, a camera was fitted into a AM-16 radar bucket, and a live feed was sent to the bombardier.]. With a crew of 8 [Pilot, copilot, navigator, radio operator, gunner (3x), and the bombardier.], the PBY-10 “Torque” combined the best of light and heavy bombers, Heavy defensive armament, heavy offensive weaponry, and comfortable space for the crew.
Radar
The “Extended Horizon” Radar system was fitted into the aircraft near the rear. This radar was designed to detect surface and below the surface targets. (Ships, and submarines.) It functions by sending radar signals, or waves, out to the sea, any spots where the signals were bounced back, a target was there.

Weapons

Mk. 28 Case Torpedo (2x)

Development started in 1942 after it was found that the airdropped torpedoes were going too deep in the water and detonating at high speeds.
”Pinner” 1000 pound Armor Piercing bomb (2x)

After the Bismarck and the Yamato were found to have heavily armored decks, the “Pinner” was sent to the front lines. Able to penetrate 105 millimeters of armor, and a fuse of up to 10 seconds, this bomb is the pinnacle of armor piercing ordnance.
Large bill Mk. 3 rockets (2x)

These rockets, armed with a 500 pound warhead, are used for both anti tank and ship operations. These don’t have much penetration, but they do have fragmentation.
Rockets (10x)

The rockets, weighing in at less than 200 pounds, are for anti tank and anti fortification purposes.

Controls

Landing gear: pull radar up/down
