Introduction
パスタの国で運用された信頼性と運動性に優れた複葉複座の水偵Ro.43を単座に改修した水上戦闘機です。
低速なため戦闘機としては限界がありますが、貴重な洋上防空戦力として期待されました。
本機は戦訓をフィードバックした同改修機です。

Due to its slow speed it is somewhat limited as a fighter, however it can still be a valuable contributor to offshore air power. This machine has been renovated and improved due to feedback from combat experience.

Trivia
- The "bis" designation means 2 or part 2 in Latin, which in this context is used for variants of the derivative model such as tanks, aircraft and vehicles by Italy. It is essentially a foreign-made modification very similar to the Kai process used by Japanese equipment.
- It is the first foreign equipment to get a foreign modification designation directly from upgrades.
- Zara due displays this aircraft in her art.
