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
How To Obtain
- Can only be equipped by Akitsushima (and her remodel), Kamoi Kai Bo, and Nisshin Kai (and her second remodel).
- Will launch during aerial battle if other planes are launched, but cannot start aerial battle on its own.
- Capable of performing ASW on its own (similar to Ka-type Observation Autogyro).
- Increases the range of fellow Land-Based Air Squadron planes, from +1 to +3 range depending on the base's unmodified range.
