Title: Japanese Bombers
Post by: theNewB on August 27, 2002, 12:16:17 AM

last one i promise :p

as for the Japanese...

1st the Mitsubishi Ki-21 'Sally' good for a medium bomber carrys about 1000kg (2205lb) for a payload weak armament but has a good speed of 302mph.

2nd Mitsubishi Ki-30 'Ann" as a light attack bomber carrys 400kg (882lb) of bombs internaly poor defence and poor speed of 263mph but still would fit a role.

3rd Nakajima B5N 'Kate' as torpedo/level bomber.Only has one gun in the rear but still would be good to add. Can carry 800kg (1764lb) of bombs or a torpedo speed is 235mph.

4th Nakajima B6N Tenzan 'Jill' another torpedo bomber same payload as the B5N but has one more rear gun in the ventral position.

(note all these are no in order from what we need most from 1st to last)

i would love to hear Mitsu's opinions about these planes i have listed and everyone else's.:)

I haven't seen too much info about "Emily"; did it have a bomb sight?

Edit: I saw pics Mitsu did post in another thread. There was a guy in the nose of the plane and it looked like he was bent over the bomb sight.

Realy the Peggy is such a great Japanese Bomber the only thing that could surpas it is the Emily.

 As far as CV aircraft go or CV type aircraft, I would pick the Grace.

Manuaverbality like a Zero, two 20mm type 99MK 2 cannons firing forward, one 13mm MG's for defense. Out of all the Japanese CV type strike aircraft she is the beast armed, all the rest have 7mm almost usless for a MA type enviourment.

 aprox 1,760 pounds of bombs or one torpedo.

 352 mph.

  Clearly this plane represents the best the Japanese had to offer, she was a wounder, I think it would be great to have her, we have planes like the C hog and Ta 152 which were not produced in huge numbers and represent the best their nations had It would be nice if the Japanese got the same respect.

 My second choice would be a Juddy.

 Third a Jill.
