Introduction

陸軍で開発、対潜哨戒機としても運用されていた小型固定翼機、兵装及び磁気探知機等を強化したif改良型です。
現代のSTOL(短距離離着陸機)のような性能を持ち、艦載対潜哨戒機として運用が計画されていました。
全通甲板を持つ強襲揚陸艦や山汐丸などの特設護衛空母などで運用可能です。

A small fixed-wing aircraft developed by the IJA as a maritime patrol aircraft. This is a what-if version with improved weapons and magnetic anomaly detectors.
Its performance is similar to modern STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) aircraft. The plan was to operate it as a carrier-based maritime patrol aircraft.
It can be operated off amphibious assault ships with through-decks or off special escort carriers like Yamashio Maru.

Notes

Liaison Aircraft are ASW Aircraft, being used to trigger some OASW and Land-based ASW attacks.
  Command Liaison Aircraft 
 
do not have any Dive Bombing   stat, and so 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/L equipped with it will still require a   Dive Bomber or a   Torpedo Bomber to attack submarines, as it is unable to attack anything without a bomber.
  • Cannot have their LBAS Combat Radius extended.

 Hayabusa ASW Hayabusa 
 
have some Dive Bombing   stat that counts toward Shelling and allow them to take part in regular Aerial Combat.
