Ofcourse I am not a mod but you are taking the subject way of topic Stormwolf.. The OP asks for support/remarks on his research plan. Don't think he wants to talk about attributes that should or should not be updated...

Suggest you open your own topic to discuss it..

pls just don't answer him, that might just invite him to keep on posting...

The green button helps as long as no one quotes him

Also B6N2a has a heavy defensive machinegun, versus 7.7 mm on B6N2 model = higher gun rating.

Edit;typos.

just doesn't matter at all, it could have two of those guns or none, it just won't even save a single of those bombers when being attacked by Allied fighters. You can go through a full PBEM campaign and you will never see a Japanese 1E or 2E bomber shooting down an Allied fighter. Have played something like 30 in game years PBEM so far, watching every combat animation and have never seen it. NEVER.

I'm not sure that the 7.7mm can even PENETRATE aluminium. [:D][:D][:D]

During 600+ turns i played in my PBEM i must confirm Castor Troy words.
I never seen japanise bomber shotting down allied fighter. Few times i saw bomber damaging enemy fighters but allied fighters are durable so few second later the same fighter was destroying bomber. From time to time i also see that defensive fire force fighters to cancel attack but i can count those times on one hand fingers.
