Notes
- Unbuildable. Clear Reward for Spring 2016 Event E-6.
- Can only be equipped by Akitsushima (and her remodel).
- Will launch during aerial battle if other planes are launched, but cannot start aerial battle on its own.
- Capable of performing ASW on its own (similar to Ka-type Observation Autogyro).
- Increases the range of Land-Based Air Support planes by 2.
