A carrier-based fighter from the Wildcat "F4F" series that fought fiercely with the Zero over the Pacific during the early stages of the great war.
This model, the "FM-2", is an improved, late-stage, mass-production model, trading high altitude performance for improved maneuverability and torque handling at lower altitudes to make it a masterpiece general-purpose carrier support fighter.
The FM-2 was deployed aboard ships like the escort carriers being churned out on a weekly basis.
This time, it enters the field as a general-purpose support fighter with anti-ship and anti-ground capabilities.

Mechanics

Dive Bombers are one of the main types of plane used by CV(B/L). Their main role is to do damage during the Airstrike, with their "Dive Bombing" Dive Bomber Attack stat being the most important factor in this regard. Dive Bombers are additionally needed for dealing damage during day Shelling, especially for Aircraft Carrier Cut-Ins (CVCI).

This dive bomber has the ability to target installations during shelling.

Notes

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