You know how buying a rank II vehicle on naval rewards you with the OS2U Line in the US air tree? Well what if all nations got the same treatment for the naval scouts.
Due to the update to wiki 3.0, the page containing the list of aircraft that can be launched from ships has been lost, the planes are still there, just go to wiki>aviation and filter roles to Hydroplane and Rank I and all planes without a purchase cost and a BR excluding the OS2U-1 and OS2U-3.
The list of catapult launched aircraft as a refesher

USA

  • O3U-1
  • OS2U-1 (already on the air TT)
  • OS2U-3 (already on the air TT)
  • SOC-1

Germany (only nation that wouldn’t have it’s naval scout on the TT)

  • Ar 196 A-3 (it is a premium aircraft and it probably shouldn’t be unlocked)

USSR

  • KOR-1

Great Britain

  • Osprey Mk IV
  • Walrus Mk I

Japan

  • E13A1
  • E7K2
  • E8N2

Italy

  • Ro.43 (Could be foldered under the Ro.44 on the Italian air tree)

France

  • GL.832HY
  • Loire 130C

So guys if you guys agree I can make a suggestion on the forums where you guys can vote since they tend to spend a lot of time waiting to be aproved and posted

Whislt they’d be intersting, they would be below reserve BR. Maybe if we get WW1/inter-war BRs then they certainly should join the trees

The Osprey could be interesting. Pull an A6M2 N and smash your floats into the ground and you’ve got a Nimrod with a tail gunner haha

I need to go back an revist my old draft for similar requests. While I agree we should see them added, I just thought differently to the many that have said similar before.

My only point was at that the requirements were to possibly research at least the ship to unlock it or further the modification, then it would be gifted to the AF TT.

The Germans could get the Arado Ar 196, just not as a premium.

But you’d only need one vessel to unlock it & thus if a premium had an aircraft you could unlock it that way.

View process was to get a player to invest in the mode & as a reward receive the aircraft.

Also gaijin plz gib as Aviation elements the :

• De Havilland DH.60 Moth/ Flettner FI 282 Kolibri for the Minesweeper/ Aviation Tender Zmaj/ Drache

• Sopwith Camel & Sopwith for HMS Glorious

I always found it funny that iirc Aoba & the USS Wyoming have catapults & aircraft attached yet in matches they disappear from the model (iirc the O3U is the Wyoming model), also iirc the HMNZS Leander used to have a different aircraft modelled yet was changed to the Osprey upon the aircraft added.

Only drawback currently is the lack of cockpits for these aircraft.
