Introduction

圧倒的な空戦技量を誇るエース、岩本小隊長を擁する「零式艦上戦闘機52型」装備の艦戦隊です。
卓越した空戦技量で零戦の後期改良型を駆る「零戦虎徹」は、機体の質的優位性が失われても果敢に敵機に挑み、撃墜を重ねていきました。

Commanded by squadron commander Iwamoto, the great dogfighting ace, a carrier-based squadron equipped with "Type 52 Zero Fighters".
A late model of the Zero fighter piloted by an excellent pilot, the "Reisen Kotetsu", even if the plane is weaker than its enemies, it will still boldly challenge them and shoot them down without fail.

Mechanics

Fighters  /  are one of the main types of plane used by CV(B/L). Their main role is to bring Air Power during the 1st Aerial Stage, with their "Fighter Power"   stat being the most important factor in this regard. Fighters are additionally needed for Aircraft Carrier Cut-Ins (CVCI) during the day Shelling.
