Introduction

複葉非全金属製の旧世代機でありながら、高い信頼性と運用性を誇る、旧式ながら赫々たる戦果をおさめたメカジキの名を持つ紅茶の国の傑作艦上攻撃機、その改修水偵型です。
同水上機の索敵偵察装備も強化、よりバランスの良い索敵機として仕上がった紅茶の国の水上偵察機です。
Old Ladyへの搭載もぜひ!

Although it is an older-generation non-metallic biplane, it boasts high reliability and operability. This is a modified seaplane recon version of the masterpiece torpedo bomber from the tea country known as the Swordfish, which achieved great military results despite being an old model.
The country of tea's reconnaissance seaplane became a more balanced recon plane through improvements to its reconnaissance equipment.
Go equip it on the Old Lady!

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.

Notes

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