Introduction
「カタリナ」の愛称で親しまれた傑作飛行艇です。信頼性の高い水陸両用機で、哨戒から救難まで幅広く運用されました。
戦後も活躍した傑作機のひとつです。
Nicknamed “Catalina” this was a wonderfully designed flying boat. It was widely used for patrol and rescue operations.
Even after the end of the war, this masterpiece of a machine saw continued usage.
Notes
Large Flying Boats notably:
- Can trigger Contact and Detection.
- Allow AV to perform ASW attacks.
- Increase the minimum Range of Land Bases, from +1 to +3 range depending on the base's unmodified range.
- Can be used in the Air Reconnaissance nodes mechanic.
- When equipped in any slot size, the plane count is dropped down to 1, refunding any bauxite.
Although it is a scout which does not actually participate in Aerial Combat mechanics-wise, it is still included in the launching animation if other planes are launched. When used alongside other planes in an LBAS, it can rescue some of them, saving some bauxite when resupplying (doesn't prevent loss of Plane Proficiency).
