The D4Y looks really beautiful,and I suppose the G3M would be very important for early pacific war.The P1Y is another plane I try to understand it's purpose.Was it a common bomber,like the G4M?

The G3M was important to a couple of battles very early on but in terms of content that we have right now.. only the Singapore map would be a place where it could be used historically (to the best of my knowledge). If we had China and some of the early fighting there then... yeah it would be more critical. The G4M was pretty ubiquitous with over 2000 constructed and several major versions as the war went on.
The P1Y is interesting indeed. It strikes me as something akin to the Mosquito or the Pe-2. Maybe more Pe-2 than Mosquito but nonetheless it's along those lines. Interesting aircraft. Useful for 1944-45 by my quick Wikipedia read and with 1000 built it's not an insignificant number. Bomber, torpedo bomber and heavy/night fighter. Versatile. Perhaps someone will have a look.
