Description 's own B6N2 , now in the form of FD, where it's even better than JG. I don't wanna start a FD vs JG war in the comments, so yeah.

The successor to the Nakajima B5N2, the Tenzan (heavanly mountain) offered a powerful engine, faster speed, and the inclusion of a four-bladed propeller, among many other things. I'm also doing this from a desktop where the fan is blaring at me almost 2/3 of the time, probably because I need to check on it, which I last did almost a year ago.

Entering service in a environment where the USN had complete air superiority (July 1943), the "Jill", as it was called by the Allies, lost most of them to either anti-aircraft fire or to fighters. Remaining survivors were replaced by Aichi's vastly superior B7A2 omnipurpose torpedo/dive bomber; the survivors being put to use as kamikaze aircraft over Okinawa in April-June 1945, target tugs, or left grounded.
