The Firefly F.Mk.IV (France) is a French strike aircraft. It was introduced in Update "Seek & Destroy".
Starting in 1946, the Netherlands Naval Aviation Service (MLD) purchased a large group of surplus Fairey Firefly aircraft from Britain for operations off of the aircraft carrier HNLMS Karel Doorman (R81). The MLD primarily deployed their Firefly squadrons in the Dutch East Indies to perform ground attack missions against Indonesian forces in the 1950s to 1960s. This aircraft's camoflage represents Firefly F.Mk.IV '16-44' of VSQ-7 of the Royal Netherlands Navy.
Players who have flown this aircraft in the British tech tree will be familiar with this variant. The Dutch Firefly F.Mk.IV is a stable and competent ground striker with its decent cannons and secondary weapons. It is recommended to perform ground strikes against targets in areas that have established air superiority, as enemy fighters will often be able to catch up to and out maneuver the Firefly F.Mk.IV.
