Hello all. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the catalina has radar in B.A.T. and if I could see some screenshots. I would do it on my own, but my PC doesn't have internet at the moment and all I got is the VP Modpack.

If you mean a radar screen cockpit, no, it does not.

You can use a C&C object that simulates a radar operator calling out contacts on your aircraft, but no visual cockpit.

No radar in the standard version, but you can add them, thanks to tobias, and they work beautifully in BAT:

The radar replaces the bombardier position, but as the USN ripped all the Nordens out of their Catalinas very early in the war (at least in the Pacific) this is not un-historical - they essentially bombed by eye - the planes were too slow and vulnerable to bomb at any altitude where the sight would have been useful.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. You guys are the best.
