I looked at the Arado Ar196 A3 today in the game and then i thought it may be relative easy for the modders to just change the Seafloats against Wheels.
This would make it a Plane with weels which is startable from normal runways.
I saw some arado with wheels but i dont remember :oops: what type it was but it looked like this arado 196.
Even if you did stick wheels on it, without changing the FM the plane would just land in the water anyway. Also the wheels would not be deployable.

I think i confused the Arado 196 with another plane which was mainly used as floatplane but with wheels too. I saw photos one time of a plane very close looking to the Arado.
Now i checked the history of the Ar196 and it really looks like there where no ones build with wheels.
So forget it, it was just an idea (and i must admit i use planes in offline campaigns in non-historical roles).
Doesn't seem that difficult to make either....Gladiator with that engine Ranwers used on his Hs...maybe?
Or maybe just the early single float version of the 196. It's very pretty...
