Armament of AT-6 Texan in anti-submarine role?

[Graham Boak]

Both Mexico and Brazil used the T-6 (or variants) in the ASW role. The was a story, certainly apochryphal, that the Mexicans had attacked and sunk a U-boat with one. The normal armament of an armed T-6 variant was one mg in the wing - I forget which, sorry, but it is in the manuals (port, I think)- and the rear moveable gun. Plus a 100lb bomb under each wing.

It may be that heavier bombs were carried but this would have been at the expense of the rear crewman and considerable endurance, so it seems unlikely. As ar as I known no depth charges were ever carried operationally by any member of the T-6 family.
