Description
The B6N1 Model 11 is a rank I Japanese bomber
with a battle rating of 1.7 (AB/RB) and 2.0 (SB). It was introduced in Update "Starfighters".
It is the sucsessor to the B5N, and if you liked the B5N2, you will LOVE the B6N! Simply put, the B6N is a faster, more well defended B5N, and it will prove useful in a combat situation.
General info
Flight performance
Great rudder responsiveness, good roll rate, and surprisingly good energy retention! The B6N! is capable of turnfighting with its humble frontal machine gun, and if they get on your 6, your turrets will offer some protection.

Survivability and armour
No armor, vulnerable to firest
Armaments
Offensive armament
The B6N1 Model 11 is armed with:
- 1 x 7.7 mm Type 97 navy machine gun, -mounted (400 rpg)
Choose your rounds wisely. The stealth belt is a great pick because it has two incendiary bullets, and lots of armor piercing rounds. Universal is a great pick if you need a tracer or two to guide your shots. Don't use the tracers belt, it won't do much. Default isn't really good, the ball bullets hinder performance.
Suspended armament
The B6N1 Model 11 can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- 6 x 60 kg Navy Type 97 Number 6 bombs (360 kg total)
- 2 x 250 kg Navy Type Number 25 Model 2 bombs (500 kg total)
- 1 x 800 kg Navy Type Number 80 Model 1 bomb (800 kg total)
- 1 x 835 kg Type 91 Model 2 torpedo
- 1 x 850 kg Type 91 Model 3 torpedo
The 800kg bomb will destroy 1 base, it's a good pick for maps with few ground targets! The 250kg bombs are great for destroying pillboxes and tanks, but you can only have two of them. Make sure to use a slight dive when bombing and use the bombsight for increased accuracy! The 6x 60kg bombs are a great option for this plane. Since they weigh so little, you can be super accurate with these bombs, just aim the crosshair where you want the bomb to drop, and pull up. No need for a bomb sight!!! Use these bombs for light targets such as AAA, Vehicles, Armored Cars, Artillery, Howitzers, Machine Guns, and Bridges. The torpedoes are not really useful for this plane in air battles, as ships only spawn in pacific maps, and this plane is at too low of a BR to be put in a Pacific Theater battle.
Defensive armament
The B6N1 Model 11 is defended by:
- 1 x 7.7 mm Type 92 machine gun, turret (679 rpg)
- 1 x 7.7 mm Type 92 machine gun, turret (679 rpg)
The type 92 turrets are absolutely horrible at dealing with higher BR planes, but it works wonders on biplanes. You will often face certain biplanes at this BR, and since they are slow, you can often get good shots on them. Use the Default belt and shoot them into the engine to start an inextinguishable engine fire. This works quite often with default belts. The AP-T round is a good pick if you aren't a good gunner, because the extra tracers will scare the enemy off. Most biplanes don't wan't to get too close after they see a wave of tracers appear from your turrets.
Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Regular Japanese navy torpedo bomber armaments
- Decent maneuverability for a bomber
- High top speed for a torpedo bomber
- Has offensive capabilities
- Great engine power, produces 1660 hp, and an extra 200hp on takeoff!
Cons:
- Single 7.7 mm in the left wing
- Turrets are all too familiar, poor fire rate, bad belts, jams quickly
History
An excellent replacement for the Nakajima B5N in the role of on-board torpedo aircraft, the B6N Tenzan entered service very late, after more than two years of testing. Named JILL in the Allied code, this large single-engine plane appeared as a prototype in spring 1941. The first tests revealed serious steering stability problems. Subsequently, there were difficulties in developing the engine and the need to reinforce the landing gear. After 133 units of the first version of the B6N1 were built, the second production model began to be delivered towards the end of 1943. A total of 1,268 units were built.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
