Catapult Fighter Data

Revision as of 02:42, 18 February 2019

When activated, the consumable deploys a group of three fighters (four with the Direction Center for Fighters skill) from the ship's catapult or by a strike squadron's summons.

Once launched, the fighter group will orbit around the ship or designated area at a radius of 3 km and automatically intercept nearby enemy planes. By itself it is fairly effective at shooting some down. However, shipboard AA defenses, particularly when bolstered by Defensive AA Fire , and a fighter group can wreak havoc. When not engaged, the fighter group may detect concealed enemy ships that come within its visual range. See the Aircraft article for more information.

The Fighter consumable is available on Tier IV and higher Japanese cruisers, Tier V-VIII British cruisers, Tier V and higher American cruisers, Tier VI and higher German cruisers, all battleships Tier VII and higher, all aircraft carriers, and all strike aircraft Tier VI and higher. Note that some ships require a hull upgrade before this consumable becomes available. Ships with catapult-launched aircraft often must choose between equipping either a Catapult Fighter or a Spotting Aircraft . Note that Surveillance Radar  is an option on some cruisers.
