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F4Fシリーズの後継機、F6Fシリーズの後期改良型量産機です。
大出力エンジンと強力な火力を装備、さらに防御面も強化した本機は、強力な量産型艦上戦闘機として、戦場の空で零戦を圧倒していきます。

This is an improved and mass-produced model of the F6F series, the successor of the F4F series that competed with the Type 0 Fighter above the Pacific Ocean early into the war.
Equipped with high output engines and strong firepower as well as improved protection, this strong mass-produced carrier-based fighter aircraft vastly overpowers the Type 0 Fighter on the battlefield in the skies.

Mechanics

Fighters / are one of the main types of plane used by CV(B/L). Their main role is to bring Air Power during the 1st Aerial Stage, with their "Fighter Power" stat being the most important factor in this regard. Fighters are additionally needed for Aircraft Carrier Cut-Ins (CVCI) during the day Shelling.

They can be used in Land Bases to serve the same role as Interceptors.

Notes

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