Which weapon? Everything on the last picture posted is a weapon - it's a Ki-167 Shakura-dan suicide subversion. It carried a gigantic cumulative warhead weighting almost 3 tons in a hump behind cockpit. A single direct hit would tear apart any ship on Earth.

EDIT: If you ment the "rod" sticking out of its nose, I believe that's a trigger for the warhead so that it detonates at optimal distance from the target - similar to some modern anti-tank guided missiles.

That plane is indeed a dedicated kamikaze version as TPAM already said (model shown minus the protruding fuse extenders)...the bulge on the top makes it look like an AWACS or ELINT aircraft though.

Anyway ontopic, great to see the one of the missed Jap bombers into the game, cheers.

Beautiful work so far, ten010!

I'm definitely looking forward to flying this aircraft! 

[LuseKofte]

Yes, that is the only japanese plane I fly, is the bombers Many thanx for this

[FANATIC MODDER]

What a nice surpise, I cannot wait!

It's not only that it is an interersting design, this plane can give us a much needed late Japanese bomber. Too easy to shoot down Betty Bombers with late war US fighters. I cannot wait to try it in torpedo missions.

[Metatron]

Funny, but I never found the Betty easy to shoot down with that 20mm gun in the tail! 
Especially in a Hurricane

[FANATIC MODDER]

Try a head-on attack or approach from below. It's fairly easy if you a significant performance advantage e.g with a late P-38. With a Hurricane, in fact I don'r remember even trying. I avoid to 'fly' this awful plane.

[Cycle]

Ohhh Yes! That would also be very cooool!

Betty
1 × 20 mm (tail turret)
4 × 7.7 mm (nose turret × 1, waist positions × 2, top turret × 1)
Maximum speed: 428 km / h (230 knots, 265 mph)

Peggy
1 × 20 mm (top turret)
4 × 12.7 mm (nose turret × 1, waist positions × 2, tail turret × 1)
Maximum speed: 537 km / h (290 knots, 334 mph)

Peggy has also improved bulletproof.
Allied pilots careful!

Great addition.
Here, a list of japanese WWII aircraft.
I think we have the most part of them.

Beautiful work.  It was my preferred bomber in Aces High II.   It's speed and armament made it not an easily plane to shoot down.   It could adsorb a lot of damage and still make it home.

Peggy
1 × 20 mm (top turret)
4 × 12.7 mm (nose turret × 1, waist positions × 2, tail turret × 1)

Peggy had 1x12,7 mm in tail turret from production number 4 to 450, and 2x12,7 mm in all subsequent (248) machines.
