Introduction

水上戦闘機「強風」から発展した局地戦闘機「紫電」。
同機主翼を中翼から低翼配置に改め、さらに自動空戦フラップの改良や防御力向上など、各種改良を施しました。
大馬力エンジンと空戦フラップ、そして火力と防御力。
零戦を大きく凌ぐ優れた空戦能力を持つ、海軍本土防空最後の切り札となる名機「紫電改」、その初期型の誕生です。

The "Shiden" is a short-range fighter developed from the Kyoufuu seaplane fighter.
The configuration of the wings was shifted from mid-fuselage to the bottom.
Upgrades were made to the automatic combat flaps, armor, and various systems.
This is an early model of the "Shiden Kai" with abilities that surpassed the Type Zero fighter, it formed the cornerstone of the Navy's homeland air defenses.

Mechanics

Land-Based Fighters/Interceptors     are LBAS exclusive fighters, that are used to either:

  • Provide Sortie Fighter-Power, where the "fighter Power"  , "interception"  , and "combat radius"   stats are the most important,
  • Intercept enemy bombers, where the "fighter Power"  , "interception"  , and especially the "anti-bomber"   stats are the most important.

Notes

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