Introduction

陸軍で開発、運用されていたオートジャイロ「カ号観測機」。
現代の艦載ヘリコプターの先祖ともいえる、回転翼の艦載対潜哨戒機です。
全通甲板を持つ強襲揚陸艦や軽空母、航空甲板を持つ航空巡洋艦などで運用可能です。

The "Ka-type observation autogyro" was developed and used by the military.
This rotorcraft was used for anti-submarine patrol similar to modern ship-borne helicopters.
This aircraft can launch from landing craft and light carriers with full-length decks as well as from aviation cruisers and battleships with flight decks.

Mechanics

Rotorcraft Rotorcraft are ASW Aircraft, being used to trigger some OASW and Land-based ASW attacks.

As they do not have any Dive Bombing Dive Bomber Attack stat, they do not participate to Phases 2 & 3 of Aerial Combat and are immune to shootdown. They:

  • Will launch during aerial battle if other planes are launched, but cannot start an aerial battle on their own.
  • Allow BBV, CAV, AV, and LHA to perform ASW attacks.
  • CVL and Kaga Kai Ni Go equipped with them will still require a Dive Bomber Dive Bomber or a Torpedo Bomber Torpedo Bomber to attack submarines, as they are unable to attack anything without a bomber.
  • AS, AR, and some CVB can equip them, but the former cannot attack SS, and the latter has a carrying capacity of 0 so they do not function.
  • AO can equip them, but their attack animation will still be a depth charge animation.

Their LBAS Combat Radius cannot be extended.
