It was considered one of the best naval reconnaissance aircraft of its time, with excellent maneuverability and firepower for a floatplane.

Personally,I would like to see this,but as the A3 or A6 version (both in WT) that have MG FF/M cannons as well,so it could be almost a seaplane BF 109

Yes i was reading an article and it said; The Arado Ar 196, a German reconnaissance floatplane from World War II, was typically armed with:

1 × 20mm MG FF/M cannon in the starboard wing

2 × 7.92mm MG 17 machine guns in the forward fuselage, synchronized to fire through the propeller

1 × 7.92mm MG 15 or MG 81Z machine gun in the rear cockpit for defensive purposes.

It could also carry up to 2 × 50 kg (110 lb) bombs for light attack missions.

What?

It was a joke.

This plane is needed as America already have a water plane.

For the sake of balance, it’s ok to argue that x faction doesn’t have a counterpart to y’s.

But a floatplane, of all things, is at the bottom of the list of planes anyone would want for the sake of balance.
