The B7A had a weight-carrying capacity resulting in a weapons load no greater than its predecessors; the presence of an internal bomb bay with two high-load-capability attachment points allowed the aircraft to carry two 250 kg bombs.
The B7A "Grace" combined the carrying capacity of the B5N "Kate" with the performance of the Zero. It might have been troublesome had it gone into production before the Allies gained control of the air and destroyed the Japanese carrier fleet. Like the U.S. TBF Avenger, it was capable of dive bombing as well as torpedo bombing.
