D4Y1 Suisei (Judy)
« on: September 14, 2008, 05:00:10 PM »
For use in late-war special events, could we please have the IJN's D4Y carrier-based dive bomber? 

Also used as a recon bird, some sources call it the fastest carrier-based strike plane of the war. With over 2,000 produced, it was second to only the Zero among IJN carrier types in terms of the number deployed in service.

Thanks!  :salute


Early model with liquid-cooled inverted-V engine:



Late model version with air-cooled radial engine:

Helm,

Quite a few do want Japanese, Russian and Italian planes too.  Just not enough to sway any votes.  And that is why a player vote for each addition would be dumb, something HTC well knows.
