You can also change colour of missiles. Can’t wait for someone to make Japanese missiles blue.

I mean I wouldn’t really call it much of a nerf when they got an a near tripling in explosive amount for a touch less weight, got overpressure for open top tanks, and didn’t lose anything other than a raw HE round-

oh true, but I didn’t like the removal of the HE round tbh

That’s fair, though I don’t necessarily see it as a nerf either because, it got more explosive mass and now has frags or an increased fire change with the extra boom boom powder yet

I’m genuinely surprised that nobody made an suggestion on other Ginga variants such as the P1Y1c (or P1Y1 mod.11 Hei) shown below with a forward firing fixed 20mm and (possibly) twin 13.2mm rear turret

P1Y1b (P1Y1 mod.11 Otsu) with the 13.2mm turret

P1Y2-S is another potential variant that can be added, armed with a Oblique firing cannon and a forward firing one (not sure if it’s just used the 20mm, 30mm’s or both), unsure if it retains it’s bombing capabilities as well

p1y-15

Interestingly enough one of the P1Y’s the US captured is of the P1Y2-S variant

Honestly its flight performance is just… disappointing. Even without bombs it’s not agile at all.

I think it’s pretty maneuverable for a twin-engined bomber

Were the forward firing guns offensive or still turrets?

No
you can see in the pics with the forward firing gun that they are fixed in under the glass canopy. If it was the turret the 20mm would be mounted around the center of the glass canopy

The performance of the P1Y1 is fine it’s just the defensive armament especially the front mounted one that are disappointing

Gotcha, i can see it now. Too bad it’s only 1 x 20 mm or 30 mm

I’m still surprised the AJ didn’t get GBU or targeting pod, such an obvious solution to the Japan CAS problem…
