The Yokosuka D4Y2, often called the "Suisei" (comet), was used by the IJN between 1942 and 1945. The D4Y2 variation featured a Aichi AE1P Atsuta 32 engine, upgrading its power output to 1,400hp. It was also given 15mm thick bulletproof glass, and other minor modifications. Its speed was improved to 580 km/h, and its performance exceeded many other dive bombers of the time.
