Thanks!
According to game files they are armed - but these light fighter types are also the worst in terms of being able to use their weapons. In my tests Spitfires crashed into sea more often than drop bombs, unfortunately.
There's also another problem with these planes - they should be extremely rare in game (please correct me it I'm wrong, but for all I know there was not a single historical case of Spitfire or Hurricane attack on U-Boat at sea), yet from what I hear SH5 players encounter them more often than dedicated anti-submarine patrol planes.
I'm not a campaign expert, so maybe there's a reason this wasn't done but as far as I'm concerned, game would benefit from drastic reduction of light fighter planes range, to the point where player would only encounter them close to harbors.
