-The '''{{Specs|name}}''', designated as the '''Type 97 Carrier Attack Bomber ({{Annotation|九七式艦上攻撃機|Kyū Nana Shiki Kanjō Kōgekiki}})''', was the standard Japanese carrier-based torpedo/high level bomber during World War II. With its first flight in 1937, it served the Japanese Navy very favourably with its highly capable ordnance and was considerably faster than any Allied counterparts. Due to delays in the production of the [[B6N (Family)]], the B5N saw service from 1937 all the way until 1945, supplementing the B6Ns in secondary roles. While it saw initial service in the Second Sino-Japanese war, it played a major role in the opening phase of the Pacific war, contributing to the successes at Pearl Harbor, Coral Sea, Midway, and Santa Cruz Islands.

 The B5N2 has been in the game since the start of the Open Beta Test prior to Update 1.27. While a considerably large target for the size of its wings, the B5N is a very manoeuvrable and relatively fast plane, able to outmanoeuvre and outspeed enemy interceptors. The B5N also carries a favourable array of ordnance for both high and low-altitude bombing on top of ship attacks.

 The Nakajima B5N2 (Allied code name: Kate) was a plane first flown in January 1937 for the Imperial Japanese Navy. About ~1149 Nakajima B5N Torpedo bombers were made for the Japanese Navy. It would see service in World war 2 and was the Japanese Navy's primary torpedo bomber for the early part of World war 2. The Nakajima B5N Torpedo bomber was credited with the sinking of three US Carriers the USS Lexington CV-2, USS Yorktown CV-6 and USS Hornet CV-8. One of the most notable pilot of the B5N is Mitsuo Fuchida, who led the first wave of aircraft during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
-Although a total of 5,928 B5Ns were built, none survived the war. Two B5N's are know to exist, both made from wreckage's. One can be seen at the Pearl Harbor Memorial, it is missing it's tail, left wing, engine, canopy, and a few other parts.

 Before the advent of the B5N, Japan used the B2M and B4Y as torpedo biplanes. However, the significant limitations of biplanes were obvious, so in 1935, inspired by the monoplane A5M fighter, the Imperial Japanese Navy developed the 10-Shi torpedo bomber specification.
