Just because the Japanese look funny in B25's when they need to bomb something.

Not particularly.  It had an insanely long range for a twin engine bomber.  Mitsubishi repeatedly asked the IJN for permission to go to four engines as they were really needed for what the IJN was asking for, but the IJN denied the request every time.  Due to the twin engine and range requirements Mitsubishi was forced to take extreme measures to the degree that not only did they have to forgo any armor at all, the skin of the wings is actually part of the fuel tanks.

A Betty would be a good addition for scenarios, and the AvA.  :aok

Not sure how well it would do in the MA, though iirc some did have a 20mm in the tail.

All had the 20mm in the tail.  The G4M2 replaced the 7.7mm in the dorsal with a 20mm as well.

I would love to see this aircraft along with the Ki-43. Both would find a lot of use in the special events. They would appeal to some for MA play as well. But any Japanese aircraft would be great IMO.

And I believe the G4M3 replaced ALL the guns with 20mm.  :O

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

So it would be very easy to shoot down?
