Introduction

紅茶の国で開発/運用されたOspreyの後継たる艦艇運用を前提とした水上偵察機です。
複葉でありながら剛性の高い機体で、大戦中期まで巡洋艦以上の艦艇に搭載され、航空索敵や弾着観測などで活躍しました。
本機は、そのif改良輸出型です。

This reconnaissance seaplane was developed and operated by the country of tea as the successor to the Osprey.
Even though it was a biplane, it had a rigid airframe. During the Great War, it was equipped on cruisers and performed aerial reconnaissance and artillery spotting.
This particular plane is a what-if export model.

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 Aircraft Sp LB Recon 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.
