Its one thing to have to take off at the start… but has no forward facing guns? has 4 bombs but no guns… working as intended??
By design.
E13A1 is technically not an attacker in the first place.
It’s a reconnaissance plane optionally fitted with 60kg bombs.

That’s because rear gunners are currently bugged.
And these hydroplanes should be removed from the game because of its uselessness, even at the low BR

I kinda like that there are guns and vehicles that are absolutely trash. Makes you appreciate unlocking better stuff as you progress.

Relax. The best offensive aircraft of the Imperial Navy also has no offensive deck weapons 
For me it is good that vehicles are designed in accordance with tactical and technical data.

Edit:
Scratch that, I mistook the plane we speak of for another… nvm.
The very enjoyable way how to destroy pursuing enemy aircraft is just dive to tge ground and in last second save it.
I killed at least 5 guys this way. Just because they were greed af.
But sadly it does mean 0 points for you if you didn’t hit his plane before. But it’s still extremely satisfying to just see he’s death in killfeed. Filthy casuals xD

I’m still not fully awake atm, I thought he spoke about the last unlockable bomber plane, the one that turns on a dime and can loop better than any fighter plane…
I really get fighters thanks to my noob rear gunner, over time.
Or my carrier guns, because I slowly loop and turn in their direction when pursued.
Seeing them explode mid air because they forgot about the big boats… uhuhuhuh
I don’t even remember last time when my rear gunner was actually shooting anymore, lol.
That’s how fast bugs are getting fixed.

I have gotten ton of Kills with the Jake and the Kate, imo their both much better over all than their allied counterparts.

A lot of players don’t like hostorical correctness. But the best Japanese bomber / torpedo plane does not have offensive weapons in the form of guns and cannons.
And for me it’s an asset of the game that they don’t pointlessly add weapons to vehicles that didn’t have them.
Although there was an E13A1 that had cannons but didn’t carry bombs.
I like that plane
And those bombs have a rather wide radius - they took out the M13 from quite a distance.
Or rather - they took out the crew, but the vehicle remained mostly intact.
I even managed to get a 3-man medic squad in to the vehicle afterwards.
Which also suffered the same fate, but at least they took the plane down with them.
wut, last i checked the b7a2 has twin 20mm cannons. and thats objectively the best light bomber/torpedo bomber produced during the war. unless you mean the p1y1, but thats slower, bigger and doesnt carry more ordnance. or do you mean the b5n? though they should give it the 800kg bomb for balance. seeing its objectively worse than the american bomber, in every way besides maneuverability
thats because unlike other bombs, the 60kg type 97s are anti infantry bombs, so they mostly fragment unlike other bombs which are purely explosive.
I’m talking about this plane. There is B5N in the game. But they could add a third 250kg bomb.
