Raiden

Introduction

「十四試局地戦闘機」として開発された、対爆撃機要撃に特化した迎撃戦闘機「雷電」です。
零戦などの艦上戦闘機「甲戦」に対して、局地戦闘機「乙戦」として開発・運用されました。
格闘戦向きではありませんが、優れた上昇力と大火力を備えています。

Developed under the specification for the “Year 14 (Showa 14 or 1939) Land-based Fighter” the “Raiden” was an inceptor that specialized in combating bombers. While the carrier based Zero Fighter represented Plan A for offensive operations, as a local inceptor the Raiden was developed operated under Plan B for defense. With poor maneuverability it was not suited for dogfights; however it had excellent climbing performance and armament.
