Introduction

トリコロールの国で開発された三座飛行艇です。
やや大型、そして低速で最新の機体ではありませんが、その頑丈な作りの本機は、艦載型のM型が「Richelieu」級などの主力艦に搭載、配備運用されています。
ぜひ、フランス艦艇での運用を！

A three-seater^[1] flying boat developed in the tricolore country.
Though rather large, slow, and not cutting edge, it is sturdily built, with the M Model modified for shipboard use was deployed and operated from the "Richelieu-class" and other mainline combat ships.
Please equip it on French ships!

↑ Is actually a seven-seater with a crew of three.

Mechanics

Seaplanes are the main aircraft type used by non-carrier ships (mainly battleships, cruisers, and auxiliaries).

They are notably required to trigger Artillery Spotting.

Reconnaissance Aircraft Sp LB Recon are planes that:

Can trigger Contact.

Does not contribute Fighter Power in Aerial Combat, and so cannot be shot down during it (can be shot down during Detection).
When equipped to a Land Base:
- Can extend the minimum Combat Radius in Sortie Mode.
- Add a bonus multiplier to the total Defense Fighter-Power of the base in Air Defense Mode.
- Can contribute Fighter Power (if it has any Proficiency or ), and can be shot down.

Night Recons have the ability to trigger Night Contact.

The scouting phase animation will not show up like day battles; instead, the night recon plane's animation is played in the enemy fleet's radar.
Acts as an Reconnaissance Seaplane too in day battle (with activation rates proportionally lower with the stat).

[Bug] In a Combined Fleet situation, if a ship in the fleet equipped with a night scout is evacuated from the combined fleet using the Fleet Command Facility, the night recon can still trigger and activate as the fleet proceeds onward and enters a night battle.
