General Japanese & JASDF General Discussion

This is the premium one we have ingame

How about the A7M3-J? I just wanna to check if really exists, I know that there is a Japanese book that might mention some details, but it only has a paper version for free to check.

The Japanese started work on the A7M3-J, around mid-1944, and had major engine problems. That’s why they started work on the A7M3, because they thought it would be easier to build. I don’t want to lie to you, but I think they built one incomplete A7M3-J, which was destroyed by American bombing and an earthquake.

Do you have any recommended reading material for that? Basically, I can only find its introduction on Wiki and some websites, I am not sure if you know this: 最後の艦戦烈風 設計の秘密(曽根嘉年), If you have that in electronic or scanned version, then will be really helpful

Information about the A7M3 and A7M3-J can be found in this book.


I only have this book and one military magazine. Unfortunately, these are average sources
