-----------------------
The D4Y2-S Model 12 Suisei INJ Carrier Dive Bomber/Night fighter. Special night intercept and raider version of the D4Y2 Suisei. It was used to intercept B-29 bombers with its upward firing 20mm Cannon and for night intruder raids on Okinawa. Included is a Skin by Talos2005 for the Fuyo-Butai night intruder aircraft and the rockets that they used.
This version has the 1400 HP Aicho Atsuta Liquid Cooeld engine and 20mm upward firing cannon.
Fuyo-Butai was IJN’s Night Raiding Unit specialized in strafing, rocketing and bombing on enemy forces on land and sea at night. Sometimes, they performed night-interception duties.
Its commanding officer was Lt. Cdr Minobe and they were nominally under the command of 131 Kokutai but operated as semi-independent unit receiving orders directly from Dai Go Koku-Kantai (5th Air Fleet).
They kept night attacks tenaciously in 1945 over Okinawa swarmed with F6F-5N and P61 night fighters.
Also, one must keep in mind that Lt.Cdr Minobe was among a few commanding officers declining Kamikaze-orders and stick to ordinary but resourceful tactics for giving much damages as they could on U.S. forces.
They mainly used D4Y2-S, D4Y2, D4Y2-C and A6M5 for those night missions.
This package includes the panel fix by Sandydog.
