I want that load out....
It would likly kill a cv with one hit as well.....[
No zero and no Val. Val's loadout was limited to one 250kg bomb in centerline and 60kg bombs under the wing in extraordinary cases.
The 14 (not 16) inch shells with wings (they were almost glider bombs) weighted around 800kg each ,and were lofted and dropped by B5N kates, not by Vals.
Just pointing out that, Pongo, not denying any point in adding the Val...because I love that plane
