It seems that the model of Catalina found in-game uses the wrong tail. The PBY-6 and the PBN-1 Nomad, the latter of which saw most of it's use in Russia, utilize the tall tail seen in the second picture while the PBY-5 seen in the first picture would use a shorter tail seen on most production models in the pacific. It also seems that, if this PBY were actually a model 6, it would be seen with a Radome above the cockpit, which the game model lacks. I find this to be a rather curious error and would like to thank you for this space on this thread. Thank you.
