Mechanics

Large Flying Boats share most of the properties of Reconnaissance Aircraft. They notably:

Can perform ASW attacks on their own (similar to Rotorcraft).
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.

Despite being "flying boats", the Type 98 Reconnaissance Seaplane (Night Recon), Loire 130M, Walrus, and Sea Otter are not considered "Large Flying Boats" in the game.
