Introduction

高性能艦上戦闘機として開発が進められたF4U、航空母艦での運用が難しいと思われた初期型は陸上から運用されました。
その後改良され、機動部隊に配備されていきます。
レーダーポッド装備の本機は、ナイトコルセアと呼ばれた夜間戦闘機型です。
大戦後期にも少数が実戦配備され、夜間迎撃、夜間作戦などに投入されました。

The F4U was developed as a high-performance carrier-based fighter, but the early models which experienced difficulties with carrier operations, was operated from land instead.
After some upgrades, they were deployed to carrier task forces.
This unit is a "Night Corsair" equipped with a radar pod for night operations.
A small number were deployed late in World War II for night interceptions and operations.

Mechanics

FightersFighterNight Fighter are one of the main types of plane used by CV(B/L). Their main role is to bring Air Power during the 1st Aerial Stage, with their "Fighter Power" Anti-Air stat being the most important factor in this regard. Fighters are additionally needed for Aircraft Carrier Cut-Ins (CVCI) during the day Shelling.

Night Aircraft are planes that contribute to Carrier Night Air Attack damage.

Notes

Not to be confused with other aircraft of this family (see here).
