War Thunder - PBM-1 Mariner hilarious sea plane antics

This was my first time flying the PBM-1 Mariner, and I must say, I like all the defensive weapon emplacements, but this thing maneuvers worse than a tank! It was awful to try to maneuver. After getting shot up on a bombing run, I decided I would die soon if I stayed too close to the thick of the fight, so I decided to experiment with flying the plane rather than just accept a worthless death. I went to the water to try landing... hoping it might repair my plane like at the airfield. It did not. And unfortunately one of my engines was damaged enough, I was never able to takeoff again. But while I was driving around the river like a speedboat, I ended up shooting down a plane that was strafing my plane. It was pretty funny, and the other pilot must have been thinking "What the..." Hats off to QSDL, my friend and partner in the match. He was getting lots of kills and helping our team win while I screwed around with this awful plane. Hope you enjoy the replay!
