Discussed previously in the thread. IL2 currently lacks the capacity for the same aircraft to take off and land from both land and water.
All three Catalina variants I mentioned were redesigned to be "amphibious" - allowing them to do just that.
I believe this has been altered in modded versions of the game, and that true amphibious planes have been successfully added. So, not impossible for the game engine, just not done yet for the official version.
