that is one of the tougher aircraft to find accurate data on (i.e. as accurate and plentiful as the p-51 or spitfire), especially on the net. wish i could read japanese...

It was, as I recall, the fastest operational dive bomber of WWII.  It also had some notable successes, such as the strike on USS Franklin.

The Judy would see use in the MA as well as the special events. Sure it doesn't hold the bombload of its American counterparts, but it looks like it would be a blast to fly. I would use it :cheers:

A possibility to be sure.  Definitely worthwhile for scenarios.   
+1, but then again if I'll fly a Kate I'll fly anything....
