Introduction

陸軍で開発、運用されていたオートジャイロ。
その対潜戦闘力を強化したif強化型改修機です。
現代の艦載ヘリコプターの先祖ともいえる、回転翼の艦載対潜哨戒機、全通甲板を持つ強襲揚陸艦や軽空母、改装航空戦艦、航空甲板を持つ航空巡洋艦などで運用可能です。

This is an autogyro that was developed and operated by the Army.
It is a modified version with enhanced anti-submarine capabilities.
It is the ancestor of the modern shipborne helicopter, as a rotary-wing anti-submarine patrol aircraft, and can be operated from landing ships with flight decks, light aircraft carriers, aviation battleships, and aviation cruisers.

Mechanics

  Rotorcraft are ASW Aircraft, being used to trigger some OASW and Land-based ASW attacks.

As they do not have any Dive Bombing   stat, they do not participate to Phases 2 & 3 of Aerial Combat and are immune to shootdown. They:

  • Will launch during aerial battle if other planes are launched, but cannot start an aerial battle on their own.
  • CV(B/L) equipped with them will still require a   Dive Bomber or a   Torpedo Bomber to attack submarines, as they are unable to attack anything without a bomber.
  • AS and AR can equip them, but the former cannot attack SS, and the latter has a carrying capacity of 0 so they do not function.
  • AO can equip them, but their attack animation will still be a depth charge animation.

Their LBAS Combat Radius cannot be extended.
