...I know ...it's once again a fake, but it's hell of a fun to fly this bird, or to catch it

The Ar196 was designed primarily to replace the He 60 biplane then currently in service on all of Germany's capital ships. One of the few seaplanes to see service in the Atlantic and Mediterrenian, the Ar 196's primary duties consisted of reconnaissance and shadowing of service vessels. While in most respects the Ar 196 is not a formidable aircraft, for a seaplane it's performance exceeded it's Allied counterparts. After Germany's capital ships ceased active participation in the war, most Ar196's were relegated to sea patrols from shore bases. About 50 planes served with Balkan air forces in the Adriatic and Black Sea.

Vugel you're right man this bird is as much fun as my other new one (the boulton paul defiant...)
They're both 'fakes' but in certain things better than a couple of alphas I've seen so far

cheers
