Introduction

陸軍で開発、運用されていたオートジャイロ。
その対潜戦闘力及びエンジンを強化したif強化型改修最終型です。
現代の哨戒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、回転翼機運用能力の高い全通甲板を持つ改装航空戦艦などで強力なASWを展開可能です。

This is an autogyro developed and operated by the Army.
This is the final what-if version with its engine and anti-submarine capabilities further enhanced.
An ancestor of the modern patrol helicopter, it can provide powerful ASW capabilities when deployed on the refitted aviation battleships with through flight decks.

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.
