The Freebooter was the first USS fighter. Named after the WW2-Era F4U Corsair, this floatplane's performance is on par with land-based counterparts thanks to two factors: the first is an streamlined pusher engine mounting and the second consists of streamlined float struts. These are comparatively rare because their shape makes them weak for their weight. The pusher layout also clears the nose to add more armaments to the Freebooter due to experience with Eastern Seaboard large aircraft.
Freebooters are mostly fielded in the North American coast, as the aircraft in the region are a greater threat to USS ships than elsewhere.
