Turn the crab over to reveal it’s weak spot for massive damage!

Couple of things, first off: I cant believe a jet seaplane exists. He’s even sexier then Shinkawa !

It begs me to ask the question, this thing was built in 1955, how come nobody knows about it and how come it never entered production? Not cost effective? If I address the Flotilla city in the Atoll Lab comic, this guy has defiantly gotta be apart of that world. 8025889776_7fa319fe39_z

Also, I hope your body is ready. T-95 is making it’s way to warthunder to counter the Maus. I’m looking at you Gingy and Jester 😉 http://warthunder.com/en/devblog/current/767

Lastly, Cerebralerror showed me this, but what a “oh shit” moment. its from a game where you discover A colossal enemy crab taking up residence inside the Yamato ship:       Clip_YamatoCrab

There is a jet powers fighter from the late fiftys called the “Sea Dart” its supposed to be the fastest seaplane still to this date if I remember correctly.

Gingy. I shivered when you said HaM, Titanic and Star Wars. I’ll be looking forward to it!

Admiral are you talking about the sea skimmer? Yeah that things pretty cool but it can’t actually fly. It’s a lot like a starwars speeder. SPEAKING OF STARWARS! I am backed up on stories. I’ve got five in progress, a new HaM, two Titanic’s, and two starwars ones. Is anybody opposed to starwars? I mean… them starships… yummy. Anyway I’ve got a Republic LAAT “Larty” Gunship and an Imperial AT-AT “Walker” in the line up started. I wanted to put up the Gunship today but she’s not ready yet. Oh well, I’ll post it later.

There is actually a jet seaplane even bigger than that. It’s a Russian model. Huge beast. I ccant recall the model namethough.

I would rather Warthunder add the M7 Medium Tank, it got standardized and approved for production before they decided not to mass produce it because it had thinner armor than the sherman.
But damn I love that low profile and speed.

Yea the t-95 looks interesting from what i have seen of it for warthunder, big lumbering tank destroyer. probably going to get torn to pieces by air support as gingy said but none the less its another big phat ass to stare at on the battlefield!

Perhaps it was more cost effective and less mechanically intensive to build and maintain a prop sea plane rather then a jet sea plane? the salt from the water must wreak havoc on the jet turbines.

The T-95 is overrated, honestly. On the Xbox WoT it is very scary to fight head on BUT it has a massive gun upgrade, on the actual one it used the 105 mm the T-29 took. So it’s a lot like the Maus only worse, no mobility, no gun view, no turret (and very large tracks to disable it) and its fuel tanks are exposed in the rear. A big problem is the T-95 on WoT is very good at hiding, great for bottle necking city maps, and low enough to let other tanks use it as cover, it can do that but on WT the majority of maps are wide open, no bottle necking, and air support. The T-95 is huge in aerial perspective, bigger than the Maus, because its wide and flat; I.e. those bombers won’t miss at that tier of players. It’s a sitting duck for air. So is the Maus but it is slightly harder to hit being skinny for its size.

The Russians had a jet powered sea-glider but the problem was cost and reliability, the seawater tore up the intakes of the engines. That may be what the Japanese encountered with this jet sea plane. Still sexy.
