Introduction

水雷戦隊、特にその主力である駆逐艦の熟練見張員です。
その鍛え抜かれた肉眼視力による偵察力・索敵力は状況によっては大きな威力を発揮し、敵艦隊のレーダー兵装が充実するまでは、夜戦などで水雷戦隊の脅威の戦闘力を支えます。
※状況によって専用の夜戦雷撃、鼠輸送時反撃も可能です！

A skilled lookout for torpedo squadrons, especially for those main force destroyers.
Depending on the circumstances, a trained eye can provide superior search and reconnaissance. Before the enemy's RADAR matured, this helped to increase the combat potential of torpedo squadrons in night battle.
※Depending on the setup, it's possible to perform exclusive night battle torpedo attacks or rat transport counterattacks!

Mechanics

• Increase cut-in rates in Night Battles for the ship equipping it,
• Are required to trigger some "New Type" Cut-ins,
• Play an animation right before cut-in animations,
• Bring an accuracy bonus against PT boats.
