Mariner can more than hold its own
It’s a bomber, was meaning we don’t have any fighter floatplanes
Lost chance to make the naval scouts be available for research in the air trees.
Lots of lost chances, even for a 2.3 american floatplane (SC-1) and actual USSR presence (Kor series)
Still, very fun to joke around

We kinda do, but it’s like Britain and USSR. Not available unless you use them on naval as scouts
Welcome to war thunder, it’s about the same in just about every single BR in the game for the US

This is honestly one of my favorites!
WHERE BV238???????? I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED TO USE BV238!!!!
it wouldnt be that OP as long as ppl aim 4 the wings instead of fuselage. Fuselage eats up a PBJ-1J’s 75mm but wings get 7.62’d
plus if they kill 3 of the 6 engines it quits flying :P

3.7 plane with autocannons fighting stuff like Catalina and OS2U.
2.3* plane with autocanons (could only become 3.3 ish with removed floats risking losing your plane in vain + not like bombers gonna care of your dogfight performance) and nobody forces you to use Catalina or OS2U.
And remotely capable player in H8Ks, BV 238, PBM-5A and upcoming Spitfire with floats gonna shread A6M2-N to pieces.
Great, for the entire duration of the event, the Zero is going to shred slower planes armed with 7.62s, and if they’re REALLY lucky, maybe a .50cal, and only on the last day of the event will an almost equal be added to the fight to a limited number of players, and it too will be oppressive.
And people forget the N1K1 with more ammo and I believe even better suited for boom and zoom.

no N1K1?, also i wish the US got a playable SC-1
You can play the N1K1, You just don’t see it because it isn’t as easy to abuse :P
But yeah there are a total of 13 aircraft you can’t take since they are limited as naval scouts only and haven’t recieved the OS2U treatment yet.
List
germany
None since the Ar 196 A-3 was an event vehicle and you can technically spawn it, but it is rare to see.

this is gonna be spitfire vs zero with everyone else as their food im calling it
So why are these fighters allowed but not the Bv-238? The fighters are just going to snap off their floats and then massacre everything…
