I still say the Sunderland looked too fat. The Cat had a sleeker look to its hull.

The Cat was better and better looking than the Sunderland.

But you haven't put forth any true arguments as to why the Sunderland should be considered better in a while. Fact: The Cat had longer range, ie. endurance. Fact: The Cat was more versatile, patrol, torp bombing, night bombing, barge-busting. Fact: The Cat sank more U-boats. There are three good reasons why the Cat was better.

you can't use that as the sunderland wasn't needed for these roles...............

Ok, Lanc, even if you discount that (which I don't think you should), you still haven't given me a reason why the Sunderland was better.

I don't need to be here on LGs side, but I am. The Cat sinking more U-Boats equals more damage to enemy, therefore more effective than the Sunderland.

And shouldn't that really be the bottom line? The Cat hurt the Germans more than the Sunderland.
