Introduction
大戦初期の太平洋上で零戦としのぎを削った艦上戦闘機、ワイルドキャット「F4F」シリーズ。
本機「FM-2」は、F4Fの改良後期量産型で、その高空性能を削り低空での運動性と取り回しやすさを向上させた傑作汎用支援艦戦です。
週間単位で量産された護衛空母などで運用されました。
今回は、対艦・対地の汎用支援戦闘機として登場です。
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" 
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).
- They are vulnerable to shoot down during most Aerial Combat phases.
- They bring some accuracy bonus against PT boats.
- They cannot attack Installations unless they are Anti-Installation Dive Bombers.
This dive bomber has the ability to target installations during shelling.
Notes
Not to be confused with other aircraft of this family (see here).
