I wonder what the CG shift is on the 74 water bomber. Must be a huge change. Could be a bag of fun low level, minimum manoevring, lots of traffic etc etc.
My experience with this is that for this beast to be near the action he would have to clear some area. Additionally I gather he would be relatively high, so granted lots of water, but v. inaccurate. A bit of area weapon I would suspect.
Maybe I'm wrong.......
