Sorry if I have information typos, I did not copy and paste the information above.
I know this was wished in the past, just wanted to bring this up again.
I would like to have this aircraft in-game because it is quite exotic and many other simulators and games don't have this plane in its inventory. (Besides Battlestations Pacific, its the only game I know the D4Y is implemented in.)

It's been asked before, it generally gets overlooked - we certainly need to polish off the Japanese inventory.
Also some of those stats posted are way off.

+1 I would love to see late war Japanese planes :\

That's strange, the book that I got it from and ..erm.. wikipedia........ has the same stats. I'll check someplace else...
But besides that i'm glad your on the same boat as me.  :aok

Those stats all look ballpark correct to me.  It was the fastest dive bomber of the war.

I was thinking it had a pair of 20mm in the wings, but I am showing 560kg of bombs max - I need to dig up more Japanese aircraft books.

I do know it topped out around 350-360 mph - not sure if that was heavy or clean.
