Introduction

紅茶の国で開発運用された、前身の「Walrus」の後継機となる複葉飛行艇です。
可愛いラッコの名前を持つ機体です。
エンジン配置構造の改善により、航続距離や運用性も向上しており、戦後も長く使用されました。
汎用性の高かった同機、本装備では夜偵バージョンの水上戦闘艦搭載偵察機として実装です。

This biplane flying boat is the successor to its predecessor, the "Walrus", which was developed and operated in the land of tea.
This plane was named after the cute sea otter.
Modifications to the engine arrangement structure improved its cruising range and operability, and the plane continued to be used for a long time after the war.
This highly versatile plane is now setuped in its ship-born night reconnaissance version.

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.
