One of the best planes Germany had.

Yup, amazing flying boat. Aviation diesels!

I know B&V were smoking some interesting schnitzel, but I really like this design

Prettiest flying boat ever.

Not obvious, but another unusual feature was that it used diesel engines which in turn used an opposed piston layout..

You can count on B&V to engineer interesting craft.

imo, the most ‘normal’ plane they ever made was the Bv 155 high altitude interceptor, and that is still worthy of this sub, at least their ships were more normal

Yeah i agree, it's like the designers were trying to see the craziest shit past the boss.

Is it me or does that thing look pretty low in the water? It reminded me of my dog in the lake.
