Pros:

Japan

* AXX for Carrier-based fighter:

    • Arrestor hook
    • Strictly air-to-air role
    • Decent cannon armament
    • Extremely manoeuvrable
      • Excellent turn rate
      • Excellent roll rate
    • Very short takeoff distance

* BXX for Carrier-based torpedo bomber:

* DXX for Carrier-based dive bomber:

    • Bomber spawn
    • Arrestor hook
    • Airbrakes
    • Medium sized bomb (choice)

* HXX for Flying boat:

    • Bomber spawn
    • Landing floats
      • Can capture points in Naval
    • Decent combined defensive armament
    • 2x Type 91 Aerial Torpedo
      • Torpedo has the highest drop speed in the game at 580 km/h and is one of the most feared torpedoes in Naval Battles
    • 12x Type 97 No.6 Land Bomb (60kg)
      • Gets 2x bomb racks of 6 x 60 kg bombs which can be used to hit multiple targets
    • 2x No.80 Land Bomb (800kg)
      • Heaviest bomb Japanese Navy can offer

* GXX for Land-based attack bomber:

    • Bomber spawn
    • Decent combined defensive armament

* JXX for Land-based fighter plane:

    • Usually gets interceptor spawn
    • Powerful armament
      • Plenty of ammo
    • Armour and self-sealing fuel tanks
    • Excellent climb rate
    • Excellent top speed
    • Excellent dive characteristic
    • Great energy retention

* NXX for Fighter hydroplane:

    • Landing floats
      • Can capture points in Naval
    • Removing the floats makes you a capable dogfighter
      • Quite undertiered once floats are gone

* Common Navy plane construction:

    • Decent (Model 2) offensive armament: 20 mm Type 99 Model 2 Cannon
      • Ground Targets: Great for Ground battles
        • AP-I:
          • Shreds soft targets, and can weaken / destroy weak top armored tanks, especially engine decks
          • Easily sets fire to air targets
        • HEF(T):
          • Tracer can help you aim on target
          • The few rounds in the belt can still wreck havoc on enemy planes with their HE filler
      • Stealth: Great for Air battles
        • No tracers
        • HEF
          • Near full HE belt
          • Wrecks havoc on enemy planes with HE filler
        • AP-I
          • Easily sets fire to air targets
    • Excellent manoeuvrability
    • Nose mounted armament
    • Small radiator drag

* {{PAGENAME}} specific

  • (Here Goes Anything That's Special / Unique To Said Plane (Family))

Other Examples:

  • B6N Specific:
    • Great engine power, produces 1660 hp
    • High top speed for a torpedo bomber (464 km/h)
  • D4Y Specific:
    • Fast, can outrun almost anything, save P-38s
      • Its speed forces the enemy to tail behind your gunner, giving you a chance to shoot at the approaching fighter with your turret
  • D4Y3 Ko Specific:
    • Improved defensive armament
    • Improved radial engine which won't overheat, and is an improvement from the D4Y1 and D4Y2

Cons:

    • Slow
    • Low dive speed, and easily compressed in a dive

* BXX for Carrier-based torpedo bomber

    • No offensive armament
    • No airbrakes
    • Relatively Large target

* DXX for Carrier-based dive bomber:

    • Has bomb cradle, significant delay in fuselage bomb drop
