Ar 196
« on: January 14, 2011, 05:39:01 PM »

would be neat to have, normaly these were launched by catapault, but as AH does not have rough seas so I dont see why it couldnt spawn from a CV group like a PT boat, but allow it so that it the cruiser is sunk then it can no longer spawn, I am aware that a recon plane has nothing to spot in AH, but the Ar 196 has two forward firing MG/FF cannon, just thought I would post this as it seems like a good idea for the first float plane to be added to AH

Top speed around 200mph, excellent handling in the air/on the water
Can be spawned even if the CV is down
Armament
1 7.92 mg17 in the cowl, 2 MG/FF 20mm in the wings, 1 7.92 tailgun for the observer
optional racks for 2 50kg bombs
We need a task group plane for the Luft guys!
Around 450 were built, saw plenty of action
 :x    :pray
The Kanonenvogel had 6 rounds per pod, this is not even close to being open for debate.

+1, but maybe either the PBY, as demon stated, or the sunderland, just because they would have more of an actual role, i think.  :bolt:
