The OS2U is the scout plane of choice for many American players. This floatplane is equally at home scouting the enemy as it is hunting for submarines. The Kingfisher, compared to the Catalina, is far cheaper, far more fragile, but has the same twin depth charges. This makes the Kingfisher superior to the Catalina when attacking enemy subs. Although the plane can equip bombs, the bombs are utterly useless as even transport ships can shoot down this tiny fragile aircraft. Costing only a mere 50 points in island capture, the Kingfisher is perfect for scout and anti-submarine duty. | The OS2U is the scout plane of choice for many American players.

'''Official Description:''' ''The Kingfisher is the Navy's standard floatplane, serving on all battleships and cruisers. First flown in 1938, this reliable, compact seaplane performs a wide variety of tasks such as reconnaissance, observation, anti-submarine and sea rescue missions. They are launched from ships by steam catapults. Without any armour or real firepower, it's not a combat machine.'' | '''Official Description:''' ''The Kingfisher is the Navy's standard floatplane, serving on all battleships and cruisers.
