Introduction

Me163の技術を導入、日本独自の技術による補完改修を施して陸海軍共同で完成を目指した高高度局地戦闘機「秋水」。
本機は、完成実用化に至らなかった同機が完成し、さらに各部隊で運用熟成され、数々の問題を克服して実用化されたif制式高高度局戦です。
高高度を飛来する恐怖の重爆に、必殺の一矢を!

The "Shuusui" is a high-altitude, short-ranged interceptor that was completed jointly by the IJA and IJN.
It was derived from improvements made by Japan to the technology introduced by the Me163, with this is a what-if plane completed after many failed prototypes and after correcting its flaws through many trials by various units. This high-altitude, short-range interceptor has now been put into full service.
It will be a deadly arrow to the dreadful, high-altitude heavy bombers that come!

Mechanics

Land-Based Fighters/Interceptors    are LBAS exclusive fighters, that are used to either:

  • Provide Sortie Fighter-Power, where the "fighter Power"  , "interception"  , and "combat radius"   stats are the most important,
  • Intercept enemy bombers, where the "fighter Power"  , "interception"  , and especially the "anti-bomber"   stats are the most important.

Shuusui is considered in-game as a high altitude interceptor.

  • High Altitude Interceptors multiply the total air power of all land bases in Air Defense mode, when defending against enemy High-Altitude Bombers. The multiplier depends on the number of high altitude interceptors equipped and which difficulty the event map is played on:
