Humble engine power and bad rate of climb. 
Very slow, not a plane for the impatient. Can land on airfields compared to other flying boats. Unlike its predecessor, this version has landing gear, allowing it to land on airfields as well as in water, allowing it to repair and respawn at airfields in Realistic Mode without belly landing, and enabling it to capture bases in Airfield Domination mode in Arcade Battles. The plane is quite unmanoeuvrable, and its wings are very weak, being able to snap just by turning just a little too tight at higher speeds in a Realistic Battle. It also has a very good defensive armament for its tier, which can occasionally be a saviour against an enemy fighter. 1 x 7.62 mm Browning machine gun, ventral turret (500 rpg)Īlthough the PBY-5a Catalina is slow and clunky, it offers a heavy payload that is sure to be a game changer if used properly. 1 x 7.62 mm Browning machine gun, nose turret (1,000 rpg). 1 x 12.7 mm M2 Browning machine gun, 2 x beam turrets (478 rpg).
