Well, I guess that depends on which aircraft you are looking at (B7A1, B7A2 or B7A3; 13-Shi, D4Y1-C, D4Y1, D4Y2, D4Y2a, D4Y2-S, D4Y1 KAI, D4Y2 KAI, D4Y2a KAI, D4Y2-R, D4Y2a-R, D4Y3, D4Y3a, D4Y3, D4Y4, or D4Y5). If you used the data of one of the later D4Ys, then I can assure you that that one did not fly in 1940... but I guess that that is fairly obvious.

The Mauler was almost 2 tons lighter than your design and while having more engine power it was slightly slower.

I don't say you havent thought through the details of your design but I think the problem is when you take good characteristics of real-life designs and merge all those good characteristics into one fictional design while disregarding the drawbacks...

For example: The D4Y would certainly not be the plane you would like to sit in when coming under heavy AA fire and sitting on a shitload of ordnance and fuel.
Moreover I think those metioned Japanese planes and Skyraider/Mauler like planes are technical wise too different to merge them into one.

Sorry, I really don't want to be too fussy but I think the specs you have given are just way over the top.

Originally posted by BrockpaineQuite correct. 600kph is blazing fast for a single-engine bomber, carrier-based or not. Even the most modern of comparable Wesworld aircraft are around the 500kph mark.
