Introduction
水雷戦隊旗艦用に開発された水上夜間偵察機です。
長時間の滞空性能を持つ黒く塗装された機体に、夜間索敵能力に優れた搭乗員が乗りこみます(条件が整えば夜戦を支援する「夜間触接」が発生する可能性があります)。
This night recon seaplane was developed for use of DesRon flagships. The airframe is painted black, has an excellent loiter time, and included within the crew is a skilled spotter trained in night operations aboard (it can also spot allied ships during nighttime reconnaissance).
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.
Night Recons have the ability to trigger Night Contact.
- The scouting phase animation will not show up like day battles; instead, the night recon plane's animation is played in the enemy fleet's radar.
- Acts as an Reconnaissance Seaplane too in day battle (with activation rates proportionally lower with the
stat).
- [Bug] In a Combined Fleet situation, if a ship in the fleet equipped with a night scout is evacuated from the combined fleet using the Fleet Command Facility, the night recon can still trigger and activate as the fleet proceeds onward and enters a night battle.
