Introduction
大戦初期から米海軍で運用された艦載水上偵察機です。
複葉機タイプの本機は、突出した性能はありませんが取り回しの良さと後継機が難航したことで、主に米海軍の巡洋艦級の中型艦を中心に艦隊の目として索敵等で広範囲に運用されました。
※本機は改修により、米巡洋艦での運用性がより向上します。
A ship-based seaplane that was operated by the USN since the start of the world war.
This biplane doesn't have outstanding performance; but, due to its ease of use and its successor being plagued with problems, it was deployed widely on medium-sized cruisers in the USN as the fleet's eyes.
※Upgrading this plane will further increase its capabilities when equipped on USN cruisers.
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.
