Introduction

時代はオートジャイロから、ヘリコプターへ。
あの時代に原型機が既に初飛行を実現、哨戒や連絡などを中心に実用化が始まっていた回転翼機、初期のヘリコプターです。
戦後、海上自衛隊にも導入された同機のif対潜哨戒型の艦載ヘリです。

The autogyro has now evolved into the helicopter.
This is an early helicopter, whose prototype had already flown, and had begun to be used for patrol and communication purposes.
This is a what-if version that might have been introduced to the Maritime Self-Defense Force after the war.

Notes

As +7 ASW aircraft, they can be used to trigger special OASW.

Will launch during aerial battle if other planes are launched, but cannot start an aerial battle on its own.
CV/B/L equipped with them will still require a Dive Bomber or a Torpedo Bomber to attack submarines, as they are unable to attack anything without a bomber.
AS and Akashi can equip them, but the former cannot attack SS, and the latter has a carrying capacity of 0 so it does not function.
AO can equip them, but their attack animation will still be a depth charge animation.
