[edit] Heavy bomber ?

According to the description in Operational History, Betty is comparable to Mitchelle and Marauder. Then it should only be a medium bomber and can not be a heavy bomber as stated in the "Airplane Information" table. Bomb load of only 800 kg (in Specification) is also small.

Agreed. Done. Binksternet 20:38, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
On the other hand, due to its long range G4M had definite strategic capability even if its bomb load was rather small. So the question is, what really makes the difference between medium and heavy bombers?
I'd personally suggest G4M to be classified as an attack bomber because it's the term I've seen most commonly connected with the type.

[edit] The most distacated?

Any guesses as to what this means? I value the additions by non-native English speakers, but sometimes it's a real stretch trying to figure out what was intended. Binksternet (talk) 00:17, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
