It sunk 4 Duch Freighters outside of Makasar in 42, not sure of date.. try some web search.
It also sunk 1 Jap Freighter in 44, by freindly fiering.

I don't know about real life, but in a recent PBEM with Chickenboy, nine of his destroyed a trio of my old battle ships during a thunderstorm!

I'll never mess with that type of plane again!

About ASW capabilities of this Patrol Float Plane:

North of the Philippines, in 1945 three American submarines were sunk by radar equipped Kawanishi H8Ks

Geez, such inaccuracies...

First off, it was 12. Second off, they put one TT into one BB and 5 into another

. It was the mines that caused the balance of the damage, dude.

PYBs and Flying boats do seem a little over powered.

They make great Kamikazes too in times of desperation. They are able to penetrate the armor of even fast BBs. I had one hit the New Mexico in a PBEM and did 44 system damage and 21 major engine damage and put the ship in dry dock for three months.

no float == doesnt penetrate see the CD discussion. sys and engine damage can be done by lots or bug super struct hits.

Yeah, I imagine those flying ships would make quite a mess regardless of what they hit.

We AFBs call this "historical embellishment".

It makes our excuses sound so much better.....

From what I can find on the web the first operational use of the H8K was on 4 March 42 when 3 were sent to bomb PH again. By that time Makassar was enjoying the fruits of Japanese liberation.
