PBY Catalina
« Reply #16 on: December 05, 2007, 08:25:58 PM »
Im for all the above.  a few other eliments that could be added...

Re-supply cv or pt's from orgin port.

Base supplies / ground supplies.

Throw in the mix of base capture by carrying 5 troops.  (2 sea planes waiting off shore for the green light)

This would quickly become a favorite to a lot of players.

good idea!

i take my earlier comments back, a PBY could have a good purpose in the arena
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

PBY with Radar
« Reply #19 on: December 25, 2007, 02:18:48 PM »
This would be a nice addition.  Radar would be able to be seen by all friendlies.  Would be a mobile radar station.  Would make a valuable plane.

port defence fighter sounds really cool!!!  :D :)

would it be launched from the vehicle hanger at a port, or would there have to be a new aircraft one?

Also, would you be able ot launch the PBY from a CV?

I'm all for these ideas so far!
