As a unit, the Mavis is the basic Japanese flying boat, and whilst not being the most accomplished of its type, it does possess a major advantage over the American PBY Catalina – payload. Whereas the Catalina can carry two torpedoes, the Mavis can carry double this, meaning a single strike has the potential to devastate even a battleship. Whilst the armour of the Mavis is very weak, its good AA complement of six 7.7mm machine guns can fend off weak air attacks with a good chance of success. However its slow, lumbering pace means it is heavily advised that you provide some kind of fighter escort, or at least draw enemy aircraft away from the Mavis as it is still vulnerable. | As a unit, the Mavis is the basic Japanese flying boat, and whilst not being the most accomplished of its type, it does possess a major advantage over the American PBY Catalina – payload.
