Mechanics

Rotorcraft are ASW Aircraft, being used to trigger some OASW and Land-based ASW attacks.

As they do not have any Dive Bombing stat, they do not participate to Phases 2 & 3 of Aerial Combat and are immune to shutdown. They:

• Will launch during aerial battle if other planes are launched, but cannot start an aerial battle on their own.
• CV/B/L equipped with them will still require a Dive Bomber or a Torpedo Bomber to attack submarines, as it is unable to attack anything without a bomber.
• AS and Akashi can equip them, but the former cannot attack SS, and the latter has a carrying capacity of 0 so it does not function.
• AO can equip them, but their attack animation will still be a depth charge animation.
