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".

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

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

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

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

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Regular Japanese navy torpedo bomber armaments
  • Decent maneuverability for a bomber
  • High top speed for a torpedo bomber
  • 13 mm Type 2 machine gun in the rear can tear apart chasers
  • 7.7 mm underneath has more firepower than the standard Type 92 machine gun used on the two previous models
  • Torpedo has the highest drop speed in the game at 350 mph (580 km/h) and is one of the most feared torpedoes in Naval Battles
  • 1550 hp engine

Cons:

  • No frontal offensive armament
  • Dead zones directly behind the aircraft, you are better off turn fighting and using your turrets while they struggle to complete the turn

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.

  • links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.

External links

Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:

  • topic on the official game forum;
  • encyclopedia page on the aircraft;
  • other literature.
