==Trivia==

==Trivia==

A stillborn advanced variant of the Aichi AM-23 [[Ryuusei]] (B7A2 Shooting Star), with its engine changed to the 2,200 hp Mitsubishi MK9. It never progressed beyond the planning stage before the end of the war, due to its base model's troubled development. Original B7A2 production models were equipped with a 7.92 mm Type 1 rear-firing gun, which was changed to the 13mm machine gun in later production.

The depicted plane is allegedly the B7A3 variant (did not exist/enter service as is). It is an advanced variant of the Aichi AM-23 [[Ryuusei]] (B7A2 Shooting Star), with its engine changed to the 2,200 hp Mitsubishi MK9. It never progressed beyond the planning stage before the end of the war, due to its base model's troubled development. Original B7A2 production models were equipped with a 7.92 mm Type 1 rear-firing gun, which was changed to the 13mm machine gun in later production. An experimental unit of the original production Aichi B7A2 was also equipped with a 2,000 hp Nakajima ''Homare'' (Honor) Type 23 engine before the end of the war, but it is likely that the Ryuusei Kai refers to the never-produced MK9-powered B7A3.
