Introduction

「十四試局地戦闘機」として開発された、対爆撃機要撃に特化した迎撃戦闘機「雷電」です。
零戦などの艦上戦闘機「甲戦」に対して、局地戦闘機「乙戦」として開発・運用されました。
格闘戦向きではありませんが、優れた上昇力と大火力を備えています。

Developed under the specification for the “Showa 14 Land-based Fighter” the “Raiden” was an interceptor that specialized in combating bombers.
While the carrier-based Zero Fighter represented "Plan A" for offensive operations, as a local interceptor the Raiden was developed and operated under "Plan B" for defense.
With poor maneuverability, it was not suited for dogfights, however, it had excellent climbing performance and armament.

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.
