Catapult Fighter Data
When activated, the consumable deploys a group of one to four fighters (two to five with the Direction Center for Fighters skill) from the ship's catapult.
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 V and higher American cruisers, Tier III Katori and Tier V and higher Japanese cruisers, Tier V-VIII British cruisers and RAN Perth, Tier VI and higher German cruisers, Tiers IV-IX French cruisers, many battleships Tier VII and higher.
Note that some ships require a hull upgrade before this consumable becomes available. Ships with a catapult often must choose between equipping either a Catapult Fighter or a Spotting Aircraft . Note also that Surveillance Radar is an option on some cruisers instead of aircraft.
Much of this data is UNCERTAIN. Use it advisedly.
