Nakajima C6N1 Saiun Myrt is the A/C in question...could be a good plane for AH: carried 800kg torp or 800kg bombs & C6N1s had 2 × 20mm foward firing & it was fast - 140 kmph faster than the TBM & 3500 km greater range (C6N was originally designed as a recon plane).  the fastest WWII carrier bomber?
BTW is 'Myrt' a male or female name?

Allied codenames for Japanese bombers were girls' names.  Fighters were boys.  Don't know for certain, but Myrt probably is short for Myrtle.
