PBY Catelina flying boat
« on: October 02, 2012, 11:36:59 PM »
The PBY is a quintesencial aircraft of ww2. It was flow extensivly by many nations some are still used in private buisnesses. A PBY would be grat to fly and realy different from everyithing else. Yes it would be dificult but if it worked it would be incredible.

Using big words doesn't make you sound smart if you don't spell them right.

I think he meant a pb&j.  i like mine with toasted bread as great energy enhancer for those nights when you need to rush to the liquor store because it is 1:45 am.

Short Sunderland
Bit faster, with far better defensive fire. bomb load was a little lower. very hard to kill birds by all accounts.

Super quick compaired to the Cat, and packing 5 x 20mm Type 99 cannons backed up by another 5 x 7.7mm Type 97 machine guns. Bomb load is higher at 4,400lbs.





Both these would have a ok chance to work in the MA... the increased defensive fire power/speed would help them see use.

The PBY is slow and underarmed. The only reason most players here ask for it, is because of how famous it is in the US.

I think it's a cool plane.  It really has no merit to get into Aces High but all American airplane enthusiasts have imagined how cool it would be have one.

Sorta like the EM-50 assault vehicle.
