1,207 Desperado73  3.9 years ago

The Vought OS2U Kingfisher was a catapult-launched observation plane that was often statationed on battleships mounted with catapults, after its mission the plane would land on the water using its floats and would later be retrieved by its ship using onboard cranes. One such battleship was the USS Nevada that had two Kingfishers after her 1942 refit. Group 1: Rear mounted guns. Group 2: Torpedos. Group 8: Gyroscope (keep on at all times). Can be taken off from any airport but for best results use the catapult on the USS Beast
