I guess that sponson turrets and top turrets shared drum magazines.

Obtaining the Magizen capacities for the 7.7mm weapons would not be to dificult, what of the storage for the other 7.7mm guns throught the boat?

Are you shure the the Waist and top turet shared Magizines, that is not a lot of 20mm ammo between the 3 guns, much less than the tail and nose.

TY again Mitsu.

Their has got to be somwone around who served on these Planes, to bad we can't just go over for lunch and say hey, how many 20mm Magizines did you have in the back:)

Elegant work and thread. Emily and Catalina with seaplane tender and other mobile basing would sure add an interesting new dimension to Aces High.

However, as in real life, they would be awfully big slow targets and couldn't be expected to survive long in the Main Arena. They'd do better in scenarios but even then would have to be deployed judiciously (gee, maw, don't he talk purty...what'd he say? huh?).

Halo,

H8K2 would be significantly more survivable than the Lancaster. Its faster, better armed, climbers way, way, faster and was probably tougher.

The H8K is in a totally different league than the PBY Catalina.

Awesome!

Mitsu

Would love to see this girl in AH. Its been one of my dreams for a LONG time to fly a Emily flying boat online.

Bomber, sub hunter, search & rescue, patrol this one does it all with style & she has teeth also!

The end of that gun camera footage is painful to watch. The size of the splash and explosion when the Emily hits the water was huge.
