Land-Based Air Squadron

{{{PAGENAME}}} is a mechanic introduced with the May 3, 2016 update that also started the Spring 2016 Event.

Outline

Usable Plane Classes

Land Attackers
Interceptors
Carrier-based Fighters

Seaplane Bombers & Fighters
Carrier-based Recon Planes, Recon Seaplanes & Flying Boat / /

How to Use

Each Squadron consists of 4 flights. Each flight can be equipped with a different plane, and the amount differs depending on the type of plane it is: 4 for planes in class 6 above and 12 for all others.
When an equipped plane is removed, the removed plane will be temporarily marked "relocating" (Template:Ja) and will not be able to be equipped during this time.

Clearing E-4 and E-5 of the Spring Event increases the number of squadrons that can be utilized.

Each plane has its own equip cost (in bauxite) that is immediately deducted when it is equipped; thus, rapid change of equipment will drain your bauxite quickly. The equip cost for the slot is calculated this way: [math]\text{# of planes allowed in slot(4 or 12, depending on what kind)} \times \text{Equip Cost of Plane}[/math]
