''A carrier-based fighter from the Wildcat "F4F" series that fought fiercely with the Zero over the Pacific during the early stages of the great war. This model, the "FM-2", is an improved, late-stage, mass-production model, trading high altitude performance for improved maneuverability and torque handling at lower altitudes to make it a masterpiece general-purpose carrier support fighter. The FM-2 was deployed aboard ships like the escort carriers being churned out on a weekly basis. This time, it enters the field as a general-purpose support fighter with anti-ship and anti-ground capabilities.

==Trivia==

The B on the tail fin and color scheme suggest the in-game FM-2 is based on the FM-2 "Mah Baby" piloted by Lt. Bruce A. McGraw of VC-10, deployed aboard [[Gambier Bay]] during the Battle off Samar.
