Mildly Interesting: The pilot that flies the Float plane on the North Carolina is an ace!

Noticed that while admiring this beast of a ship. You can see 6 kill markers on the side of the plane. 

 

I know we all love to hate on WG, but the attention to detail in this game never ceases to astound me.

Reminds me of the days when the float planes could take out a whole squad of CV planes.

It was never just the float plane, it was the AA.

It happened more often when the fighter ran out of ammo vs. the floatplane.

I saw the title and for a second thought you meant the Kingfisher.

Damn, I wish that the Planes would have the actual number of kills total in all games marked on them...

That's funny,  since the real thing actually carried Kingfisher spotters that were slower than cold molasses in January.
