Introduction

カタパルト射出可能な高性能攻撃機「晴嵐」で編成された実戦部隊です。
潜水空母による戦略的な運用を目指して開発された、高い攻撃力を秘めたハイスペックな潜水艦搭載水上攻撃機「晴嵐」。
同機を集中配備した潜水艦隊部隊運用航空隊「六三一空」の実戦部隊。
ぜひ正攻法で活躍させたいところです!

This is an actual combat unit formed with the catapult-launchable high-performance attacker "Seiran".
Developed for strategic operation by submarine carriers, the high-specification submarine-mounted seaplane attacker "Seiran" has high attack power.
This is the actual combat unit of the "631st Air Group", the submarine fleet operation squadron that intensively deploys this aircraft.
I'd really like to see it in action the way it was intended!

Mechanics

  Seaplanes are the main aircraft type used by non-carrier ships (mainly battleships, cruisers, and auxiliaries).

 Bomber Seaplane Bombers additionally act like Dive Bombers, taking part in the same air phases and sharing the same damage formulas. Additionally, they:

Trivia

The depicted plane is allegedly the M6A1 variant.

The Seirans were only deployed operationally once, aboard I-400, I-401, I-13, and I-14. While initial plans intended for them to strike the Panama Canal, the desperate strategic situation switched the target to the American base at Ulithi Atoll. For the measly six planes to successfully reach this target, they were painted in American colors, a decision highly unpopular with the crews - represented here by the fairy kicking over the paint bucket. This operation, codenamed "Hikari", was canceled with the Japanese surrender, and the disguised Seirans were thrown overboard before the submarines returned home.
