You are correct. It looks a lot like the aircraft shown in the first screenshot. They got that right, if nothing else. The Royal Navy did use Avengers (which they originally called Tarpons) in WWII, but not to attack the Bismarck.

The Bismarck was attacked mostly (if not exlusively) by the Royal Navy with ships and with torpedo bombers, not dive bombers.

Correct again. (Incidentally, the Avenger was also a torpedo bomber, not a dive bomber per se.)

Also, the torpedo bombers used were usually the Fairley Swordfish (a rather outdated biplane design!)[/quote]
I don't see how those Swordfish pilots even got into their cockpits, what with their enormous balls.
