As most know, the Albacore was designed as the Swordfish sustitute but failed to replace It and get phased out of frontline squadrons, and production, much earlier than its predecesor.
It didn't get the RP that the Swordfish got, neither the ASV radar.
Was It because its flying characteristics were utter bad? Or the gains weren't offset by other problema? Or just it failed to get a niche role as sub hunter in CVEs as the Swordfish did do to not been STOL enough?
