One of your country's ports is under attack.

Most defenders are coming from an Afield some 20 miles away.

But what if you could up that Rafe (A6m on floats) from that port for defense.

Wouldn't you? I know I would.

As to the flying boats, its been the one big piece of the puzzle that I personally have been wanting since back in the 90's.

I keep thinking that one of these days HTC is going to be able to do it.
I don't care if they are hanger queens. (some of them were armed better than the B17)
I don't care if we don't have a true recon role for them.

I think they would add to immersion. And they would just be cool to fly.

If you could take them off from ports, then I could actually see a nice use for them. Maybe the A6M2-N wouldn't be a bad start then since it'd probably be easy enough to model with the existing A6M2. Although I have to admit that it would be cool to get an H8K.

Perhaps.  I'll venture it was a beautiful sight to pilots who bailed in the south pacific.

Are we sure that plane is flying, or was it dropped from the belly of a heavy bomber?
