Introduction

シンプルかつ頑丈な作りの傑作急降下爆撃機で編成された偵察爆撃飛行隊です。
大戦初期の機体でありつつも、新型機が実戦配備されるまで長く機動部隊の第一線で運用されました。
ドーントレスの愛称で親しまれ、練度の高いパイロットであればある程度の対空戦闘も可能でした。
本機はその改良型で編成された、大型航空母艦所属の偵察爆撃飛行隊です。

This reconnaissance bomber squadron was made up of excellent dive bombers, which were simple yet sturdy in design.
Although it was a plane developed early in the war, it was used at the front lines of mobile units for a long time until newer planes were deployed in combat.
It was affectionately known as the Dauntless, and highly trained pilots were capable of some level of anti-aircraft combat in it.
This plane is an improved version of this bomber and is a reconnaissance and bomber squadron attached to a large aircraft carrier.

Mechanics

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.

Notes

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