Ro.43 Reconnaissance Seaplane

Introduction

パスタの国で開発/運用された運動性に優れた複葉複座の水上偵察機です。同国の中型以上の主力水上艦艇に搭載されました。低速機であるものの、信頼性と優れた操縦性を持った水偵として、艦隊の目や連絡を務めます。単座の戦闘機バージョンも存在しました。
This is a biplane with good maneuverability and multiple seats used as recon seaplane by the country of pasta.
It was equipped to ships of medium-sized and above. It has a lower speed, but as a recon seaplane with good reliability and maneuverability, it was still used as the eyes and liaison of the fleet.
Single-seat fighter version also existed.
