===[[PBY-5A Catalina]] rescue function===
===[[PBY-5A Catalina]] rescue function===
PBY-5A Catalinas placed in LBAS have the ability to rescue fallen pilots that lose their planes in Land-Based Air Operations.
* The rescue function will not trigger if :
** the Catalina takes a large amount of damage,
** no planes are lost,
** Aircraft rescued by the Catalina will be restored.
** a 2nd wave does not occur due to all enemies dying.
*** This saves some bauxite when resupplying (it '''doesn't''' prevent loss of [[Plane Proficiency]]).
* The rescue can happen if the 2 LBAS attacks are split on different nodes, the rescue happening on both nodes.
* Rescue only applies to bases with a Catalinas equipped.
* There 3 types of rescue that can trigger depending on your setup :
** Type 1, with 1 bubble, saving 1 plane,
** Type 2, with 2 bubbles, saving 2 planes,
** Type 3, with 3 bubbles, saving 3 planes.
* Aircraft rescued by the Catalina will be restored :
** it saves some bauxite when resupplying,
** it '''doesn't''' prevent any loss of [[Plane Proficiency]].
* The number of Catalina used to rescue affects the rescue ratio.
** Catalina ranks do not affect the rescue ratio.
*Losses are reduced per rescued slot (the final resupply value is about ~60% of what should be lost in battle). This doesn't carry over bases that are splitted.
