The Mitsubishi army type three model 5 also known as The Akuma (Devil) ?? was a light bomber type made and produced by Japan. After their defeats had started to mount, Japan had realised its need for a duel role bomber. One that can be used as close air support, two a torpedo bomber. And three recon. After the first two failed attempts to get the plane moving by late 1940. Mitsubishi decided to scrap the idea and left the prototype on the self deciding that it was best used for scrap... Only they forgot as a 100 pound bomb tore through the roof and killed the previous engineer who was trying scrap it with most of the work still available Japan took it from the scrap and reinvested in the aircraft, but its record soon became grizzly and steeped in mystery. It took six more of the same incidents that the plane was nick named devil do to any one working on it died if they even so much as thought it was scrap. But after a full 2 years and 10 deaths in total the plane was picked up by a young researcher names Kyoto Nikamura. As he had studied the planes design he soon made the fateful discovery of the reason why i wouldn't fly. The plane was to heavy... Once he reconfigured the planes specs the first plane took off and flew. After its first flight japan began to roll the Akumas off production and on too service. It stepped of the self just in time to see the island hopping campaigns the U.S. was conducting. And as 29 Akumas entered into combat they took the stage and began to decimate the enemy. It's 100mm nose mounted cannon would chew through tank and ship armor alike. And with its six 250 lb bombs it would sink lone ships and supply ships with ease... (But one needed a strong will and nerves of steel to fight a ship) during it time in service it use as a medium scout plane had also a habit of becoming sub spotters... At its role it excelled 3 versions and variants where soon created for both the Russian front as well as the Pacific doing well in both. Yet even fo

DID any ones plane BREAK fixing it
At its role it excelled 3 versions and variants where soon created for both the Russian front as well as the Pacific doing well in both. Yet even for the success of the Akumas. They still had a vast weakness.... it was slow... With out any air to air capability if the escorts in large operations where either distracted or wiped out the Akumas would rarely return if any at all... Sadly over 900 A variants where lost in the Pacific alone while in Russia another 600 where shot down. It wasn't until the b through E variants had cut down the number off losses. But as the war progressed on less and less where made due to America's Bombings of the home land... The last Akuma to role off the production line was in the early part of 1944 due to both its cost in materials and fuel. out of what ever remained of the bombers where transformed into kamikazes and shot down or blown up... Out of over 15000 planes only 30 survived the war and sit in museums around the world.... Six being owned privately. As the war came to a close the man Kyoto who made the plane fly was never seen again after the Hiroshima attack... The Akumas kill count is still being debated as most of their plane logs and. Ops where lost or burned. But its estimated the they have sunk over 20 ships with most being supply and lone battle ships and over 3000 tanks trains and trucks with 400 planes killed on the ground... To fly (1bomb bay doors) (2 flaps) (3 landing gear covers) (4 rear landing gears) (5 and 6 reserved for future turrets and air craft carrier ops) 7 drop all bombs)
Have fun and enjoy hope i win
I dont know why it cuts it off but heres the rest
