We can land(ditch) on the water
« on: April 28, 2002, 11:47:51 PM »
Let's take off from it
I really would like to see a flying boat
the sunderland or the catalina.

Don't come with the crap talk they not suited for the MA
I think they are a challenge to fly

A good thing would be the u could spawn in near off boats and ports .
And the option to bring supply with em.

The Sunderland and Catalina would be the wrong choices, IMO.

The H8K2 "Emily" was the most advanced flying boat of the war, and for quite a few years after.  It was better armed, faster, tougher (possibly the toughest WWII aircraft of all), climbed faster and flew further.  It was simply better.

It would also give the Japanese a somewhat usable bomber in the CT.

BUG,

The Japanese need more aircraft.  We want a flying boat.  Why not kill two birds with one stone?

I'd like to see a Japanese flying boat/bomber - would be a good way to track the movement of enemy carrier groups and ground assaults.
