The '''B6N2 mod. 12 Ko''', designated as '''Tenzan 12A ({{Annotation|天山一二型甲|Heavenly Mountain, Model 12A}})''', was a minor variant of the standard Tenzan 12 that replaced the two Type 92 (7.7 mm) LMGs with the German-inspired [[Type 2 (13 mm)|13 mm Type 2]] and [[Type 1 (7.92 mm)|7.92 mm Type 1]] guns, derived from the MG 131 and MG 15 respectively. It also had an H-6 (Type 3 Ku 6 Mod.4) air-to-surface naval Yagi-antenna radar mounted on the wing leading edges and on the sides of the rear fuselage.

It was introduced in [[Update "Starfighters"]]. The Tenzan 12A's improved armaments and overall agility of the Tenzan 12 can catch any pursuing aircraft off guard, as it can out-turn most of them and hit them with lethal firepower. The main role remains to be a torpedo-/level bomber, carrying either a single large bomb/torpedo, 2 x 250 kg bombs, or a rack of 6 x 60 kg. The enhanced rear firepower can be used to lure in unsuspecting fighters that might underestimate a torpedo-bomber without forward firepower.

The B6N2a Model 12 Ko "Tenzan" is a high performance torpedo bomber, capable of not only ground attack but naval attack, and can successfully outmanoeuvre anything it wishes (excluding biplanes). It has a powerful 1,600 hp engine and a supercharger for high altitude base bombing, and it is a highly capable aircraft.

The 800 kg bomb will destroy 1 base, it's a good pick for maps with few ground targets! The 250 kg 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 6 x 60 kg 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, Armoured 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.

For the 13 mm machine gun, select "Default" belt because it has the most incendiary potential. It's a great turret for its BR. The 7.92 mm gun is a great gun, use the AP-T belt, as it has the most tracers and the most incendiary potential.

This plane is great for bombing medium tanks, light pillboxes, howitzers, and vehicles. Since it is so fast, it can make multiple trips to the airfield if a resupply of bombs is needed.

For naval maps and naval gamemode it's best advised to bring the torpedo and hit ships in a quick, close, hit and run style torpedo run, the engine allows for high speeds and Japanese torpedoes are among the highest speed resistant torpedoes in-game at the cost of range of only 2 km. It is also a possibility of squading up with friends / other torpedo carrying planes to dispose of the enemy carriers / battleships in a multiple hit torpedo strike.

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.
 
−
 
 
−
The B6N2 is the main production model of the B6N series thanks to a more readily available Mitsubishi ''Kansei'' engine, instead of a in-house Nakajima ''Mamori'' engine trialed on the [[B6N1 Model 11|B6N1]].
 
−
 
 
−
The B6N2 has seen alot of use in the southern pacific land bases and few remaining carrier groups. Due to lack of experienced pilots and growing allied air power, the B6N couldn't accomplish the same / better feats the B5N has done in its prior years of the war and damage to the enemy fleet were low and overall performance was average.

Description

GarageImage B6N2a Model 12Ko.jpg


The B6N2a Model 12Ko is a rank II Japanese bomber with a battle rating of 2.0 (AB) and 2.3 (RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Starfighters".

General info

Flight performance

Describe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Speed, manoeuvrability, acceleration and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.

Survivability and armour

Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.

Armaments

Suspended armament

Main articles: Navy Type 97 Number 6 (60 kg), Navy Type Number 25 Model 2 (250 kg), Navy Type Number 80 Model 1 (800 kg), Type 91 Model 2 (835 kg), Type 91 Model 3 (850 kg)

The B6N2a Model 12Ko 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

Defensive armament

Main articles: Type 2 (13 mm), Type 1 (7.92 mm)

The B6N2a Model 12Ko is defended by:

  • 1 x 13 mm Type 2 machine gun, turret (750 rpg)
  • 1 x 7.92 mm Type 1 machine gun, turret (300 rpg)

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).

Modules

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
