They are which is why the PBY was a flying boat/amphibian.

I would say add the Italian Cant Z.506B Airone, now if you want a real ocean going plane add the H8K2, It was not only considered the best, but truly was the best flying boat of any country during and for sometime after the war

     Actually there were flying boat PBYs AND amphibian PBYs, the PBY-5 didn't have wheels, the 5A did.

I just thought it might be neat for the game. I know I'm not the only one who likes CV hunting and float planes would make it easier.
