Introduction

トリコロールの国で開発された三座飛行艇です。
やや大型、そして低速で最新の機体ではありませんが、その頑丈な作りの本機は、
艦載型のM型が「Richelieu」級などの主力艦に搭載、配備運用されています。
ぜひ、フランス艦艇での運用を！

A three-seater flying boat developed in the Tricolore country.
Though rather large, slow, and not cutting edge, it is sturdily built.
The M Model modified for shipboard use was deployed and operated from the Richelieu-class and other mainline combat ships.
Please equip it on French ships!

Mechanics

Seaplanes are the main aircraft type used by non-carrier ships (mainly battleships, cruisers, and auxiliaries).

• They are notably required to trigger Artillery Spotting.

Reconnaissance AircraftSpLBRecon are planes that:

• Can trigger Contact.

• Does not contribute Fighter Power in Aerial Combat, and so cannot be shot down during it (can be shot down during Detection).
• When equipped to a Land Base:
  • Can extend the minimum Combat Radius in Sortie Mode.
  • Add a bonus multiplier to the total Defense Fighter-Power of the base in Air Defense Mode.
  • Can contribute Fighter Power (if it has any Proficiency or ), and can be shot down.

Night Recons have the ability to trigger Night Contact.

• The scouting phase animation will not show up like day battles; instead, the night recon plane's animation is played in the enemy fleet's radar (as seen in this picture).
• Acts as an Reconnaissance Seaplane too in day battle (with activation rates proportionally lower with the stat).

• [Bug] In a Combined Fleet situation, if a ship in the fleet equipped with a night scout is evacuated from the combined fleet using the Fleet Command Facility, the night recon can still trigger and activate as the fleet proceeds onward and enters a night battle.
