Title: how would the P1Y do in the MA
Post by: whipster22 on May 16, 2010, 02:10:37 PM

Fly a Ki-67 and you might have an idea... Only that the Ki-67 has much better defensive armament.

It was a bit faster than the Ki-67, carried slightly more payload and was produced in larger numbers, seems to have been perhaps a tad more durable.  It wasn't quite as well gunned though.

That said, we have a late war Japanese bomber, we need an early war Japanese bomber.
