Why not Bettys?
« on: April 17, 2009, 02:58:12 PM »
They would play a role in a lot of FSO and other scenarios.

G4M2 'Betty' is on the short list of most needed aircraft for scenarios.

The betty's were about 50 mph faster than the Ki67 but were completly un-armored. They were even more flamable than the current B24. Several hits from a 20mm would down them like a P47 would down a non manuvering Zero :O.

They were most certainly not 50mph faster than the Ki-67, more in the range of 50mph slower.


Mitsubishi told the IJN that they needed a four engined bomber to make it effective while meeting the range requirements, but the IJN insisted that it be twin engined, so Mitsubishi had to sacrifice any consideration of protection.

I bet we'll get a Betty one of these days.

Japanese aircraft were fragile by US aircraft standards, but they generally had phenominal range for their day, which was a great thing to have for the PTO.
