-The '''B6N2 Model 12''', designated as '''Tenzan Mod.12 ({{Annotation|天山一二型|Heavenly Mountain, Model 12}})''', was a minor upgrade of the Tenzan 11 that resulted from a change in the engine policy of the Japanese Ministry of Munitions. The ministry decided to reduce the number of different engines used in planes and asked the Navy to standardize the engines used in its aircraft. Nakajima had to replace the Mamoru 11 engine with the 1,850 hp (1,380 kW) Mitsubishi MK4T Kasei 25 engine, which was the Navy's original choice for the B6N1 airframe. The switch of engines required small modifications to the aircraft: the nose was lengthened to balance the weight distribution, the oil cooler and air intakes were adjusted to fit the new engine cowling, and a smaller four-bladed propeller with a shorter spinner was installed to reduce weight. The retractable tailwheel was also fixed in place to simplify the design. Moreover, the single exhaust stacks on each side of the cowling were replaced with multiple smaller ones to reduce night glare and provide a slight thrust boost. The Tenzan 12 became the most produced variant of the series due to the availability of its engine.

 It was introduced in [[Update "Starfighters"]]. Only enjoying a slight performance increase over the earlier B6N1, the B6N2 plays exactly the same, with great manoeuvrability, the same ordnance, and the same mediocre rear defensive armament. The oddity of the single offensive 7.7 mm doesn't return and leaves the B6N2 unfavourable to utilize against other planes unlike its predecessor [[B6N1 Model 11|B6N1]] or its uparmed variant [[B6N2a Model 12Ko|B6N2a]].

 * 1 x 850 kg Type 91 Model 3 torpedo
-The 800kg bomb will destroy 1 base, it's a good pick for maps with few ground targets! The 250kg bombs are great for destroying pillboxes and tanks, but you can only have two of them. Make sure to use a slight dive when bombing and use the bombsight for increased accuracy! The 6x 60kg bombs are a great option for this plane. Since they weigh so little, you can be super accurate with these bombs, just aim the crosshair where you want the bomb to drop, and pull up. No need for a bomb sight!!! Use these bombs for light targets such as AAA, Vehicles, Armored Cars, Artillery, Howitzers, Machine Guns, and Bridges. The torpedoes are not really useful for this plane in air battles, as ships only spawn in pacific maps, and this plane is at too low of a BR to be put in a Pacific Theater battle.
