G4M2s were 4-bladed + exhaust stacks

Looks great.

I'd have preferred the G4M2 as it isn't quite as defenseless, but this will make a good addition to the game.

Got to think of it like the Mosquito, now that we have a base model in the game, variants can be more easily added in later.  Personaly I'd like to see some other axis aircraft added to the game (IE: He-111, some axis paratroop transports, etc.) before we see the G4M variants filled in, but noneless this is a great adition.

I had a lot of pistachio's flying around my room when I saw the main page....crap.  There goes 3 dollars.... :x


Truthfully, though I was wishing for the He-111 H-11, I was hoping it would be the G4M, more specifically, the G4M2 24. :lol  I am darn happy to see the G4M1 11 being the next bomber though. :rock  Out of all the bombers that were wanted/needed, I feel it is the best choice to be brought to the table.  I am not going to lie, I still wish for the He-111 H-11, but I think either a Russian Bomber or an EW British Bomber should be next.  Possibly Italian...

The clear leader for the next British bomber, which should come after a goodly number of other aircraft, would be some version of the Wellington.  I'd suggest the Mk III.

only looked at wikipedia for info, but the g4m1 will only carry 1 torp or 4x250kg?

definitely useful for special events, but otherwise???

Otherwise we have NO japanese bomber/torp plane for ANY event or scenario or arena other than a 1945 Ki-67.

It's a pretty damn big hole in the planeset, and this plane fills it from 1940 to well past 1943.

Well, the Ki-67 entered service in 1944 and the G4M2 started entering service in 1942, as I recall.

And we can safely assume the B5N2 is a valid torpedo bomber for the early war, though not so much the late war.  :p

Nonetheless, the G4M1 is a great addition for scenarios.  People complaining it won't see much MA use are simply going to have to get used to that as there aren't many aircraft left to add that will see massive MA use.
