This will be awesome! Good job to 101tfs on the 3d and importing!

Just for the record, slot is being worked on.
Cockpits have been chosen and aligned already, gunner positions manned and operable.
Next is the bomb bay, then gears, then weapons, then flight model.
If anyone has good documents about e.g. the true performance and historically correct loadouts of this plane, it would be much appreciated!

Best regards - Mike

I don't have a book of P1Y1, but ja-wikipedia maybe reliable only about loadouts.

Top gunner: 1x 20mm
Rear gunner: 1x 20mm
Loadouts:
 - 1x Type91 torpedo or 1x Type91-Mod7 torpedo
 - 1x 800kg bomb
 - 2x 500kg bomb
 - 2x 250kg bomb
Optional:
 - 2x 600 litter drop tanks as one under each wings
(P1Y1 could not carry many smaller bombs.
 Japanese remote control rockets "I-go" series are developed only by Army and planned as only carried by IJA's Ki-67.
 MXY-7 "Ohka" 's subtype-22 was tried to develop for P1Y1, but not finished and never carried by P1Y1. MXY-7-22 was much different shape and engine, flight characteristics from MXY-7-11 existing in stock game.)


Its bomb bay doors were separated into 4x leafs like D4Y.
2x were folded to left side and other 2x were folded to right side.
D4Y was modeled by ten010 for IL-2 1946, but his bomb bay door was incorrect (only 2x leafs it has).


About the books written in Japanese , this is said as the best one, today.
ISBN: 978-4893190819
Price: 2594 JPY ...... so about $25 or 22.4EUR
https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4893190814/
Published in Sep./2000 with newer data and considerations.
But I don't have it and impossible to buy it soon (I've bought too many books about modern Jets these days.)

I can offer the old but classic Rene Francillon book about Japanese aircraft of the Pacific war as soon as I am back from holidays....(tomorrow evening)...

WOW, some of the most important missing planes appearing very quickly here, great work! Thank You very much!

I hope they'll fly well soon and your beautiful B7A2 and Skyraider would also get proper slots some day.

The book image that KingTiger posted (reply#8) is from Bill Gunston's 'An Illustrated Guide to German, Italian Japanese Fighters of WW2', 1980's Salamander Books, London, title. A quite simple but well done and reliable source.

The "Classical" source : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yokosuka_P1Y.

Thanks for all your comments, much appreciated.

Its bomb bay doors were separated into 4x leafs like D4Y.

D4Y was modeled by ten010 for IL-2 1946, but his bomb bay door was incorrect (only 2x leafs it has).

I think D4Y used distinctively different bomb bay doors, where the left and right pairs would fold together pairwise with the inner bay door being attached to the outer one.
The P1Y1 in contrast has one large pair of "single" bay doors covering most of the bomb bay, assisted by a very short but slightly wider pair of bay doors behind.
The reason for this interesting layout seems unclear to me, but that's what it is:
