With Japanese engine development lacking behind, the chosen high-output engine for the Suisei was the Aichi Atsuta 21 engine, a license-produced DB 601 found on the [[Bf 109 (Family)]] and many other German planes. While the engine outperformed its Japanese counterparts, the lack of industrial power, rare resources for parts and overall maintenance complexity strained its reliability and production numbers.

 It was introduced in [[Update 1.75 "La Résistance"]]. The pursuit for a long-range high-speed dive-bomber hampers the other capabilities of D4Y1, with relatively weak survivability, limited to only one bomb of maximum 500 kg which leaves the Suisei as a hit-and-run dive-bomber.

-The D4Y1 is an excellent example of a multirole aircraft, as it is an excellent ground attack aircraft, fighter, and bomber. Since you get a bomber airspawn, you can drop your bomb on a base and then start to engage the many fighters below you. You should have no problems engaging them, as long is you keep your speed up and your energy high. One key thing to note is that you don't need to use your defensive turret to shoo away enemy interceptors. You can easily out turn any interceptor at that BR. Besides the fighter role, ground attack is the D4Y1's natural method of play. The 500kg bomb will be excellent for destroying Pillboxes, and you can use your Rifle Caliber machine guns to destroy any soft target you please.Spec

+Nicknamed the "Judy" by allied pilots, the D4Y1 at the beginning of the war was one the fastest planes in all of the Pacific.
 The D4Y1 was a carrier based dive bomber, powered by a 1,200 hp "Aichi AE1A Atsuta V12" engine. The D4Y1 was modeled after the German He 118 with the engine being modeled after the DB 601 which was used in the Bf 110. Due to the Japanese Navy requiring an extreme range for the aircraft, it was designed without any armour or self-sealing fuel tanks to lighten the plane so it would use less fuel. The lack of armour and protection decreased the weight, making them extremely quick and nimble but fragile if taking enemy fire. Combined with the unreliable engine, the D4Y1 would see many upgrades in the following models adjusting many of the flaws.
