Personally I've been waiting for seaplanes since AH started.

Looks like I'll wait another 5- 6 years before I get them.

But YES to Black Cats

YES to Mavis, Emily, and Rufe even!

It'll never happen. Why would someone wait 20 minutes to be picked up when they can hit .EF and go back to the tower in 1 second.


The catalina would be like the RV, for novelty purposes only

During WW-II PBY Catalina's could be rigged for bombing, strafing, and torpedo runs.

The Catalina could also be equipped with wheels making it versitile in it's use throughout the arena.

Although I don't think many would be willing to wait to be rescued at sea adding the ability to launch from the ports would add a new dimension to port defense .

I think it would ad an element to the game, Id go rescue a squadie in a heartbeat. that would be a fun mission in itself. I know when flying a C47 half the fun is getting there undetected and landing under the nose of the enemy and waiting to take the base. I think this would be very similar.
