Note:
十二試陸上攻撃機改 / - / Námořní těžký doprovodný stíhač s dlouhým doletem typ 1.
Spojenecké kódové označení bylo Betty.


- První G6M1 byl dokončen v srpnu 1940 a první tři stroje převzala Takao Kókútai
v prosinci téhož roku. Stíhací G6M1 nesl menší zásobu paliva (3 640 l), do křídel nebyly instalovány vnější křídelní nádrže a zbylé nádrže křídlech i v trupu dostaly samosvorné obaly, čímž se také snížila kapacity palivových nádrží.
十二試陸上攻撃機改 / - / Navy Type 1 formation heavy escort fighter
Allied Code Name: "Betty"


- Operational experience with the G3M showed that the bombers needed a fighter escort. Because there was no fighter with the range of the G4M, the Yokosuka Experimental Air Corps recommended that the G4M was adopted for this task. The resulting aircraft was called a Wingtip Convoy Fighter, and was modified as such. The weapons-bay was faired over, and instead there was a ventral gondola installed with forward and rearward firing cannon. The guns in the beam position were replaced by a single 20 mm cannon, the nose gun was retained, the tail cannon was retained, and the dorsal gun was removed. The aircraft received additional ammo drums for the four cannon and single gun.
Tests proved that the concept failed to live up to the expectations, mainly because the aircraft were overweight. After the bombers had dropped their load, they became much leighter and were much faster than the still heavilly loaded G6M1's.

History:
The G6M1 aircraft was developed from combat experience with G3M bombers deployed in China, where quite a few were lost due to combat operations without their own escort fighters. The Japanese did not then have a fighter aircraft with a range sufficient to escort bombers. The Yokosuka Naval Arsenal came up with an idea - to modify the G4M1 bomber prototype into a heavy escort fighter that would be heavily armed and capable of protecting the bomber planes by firing its weapons. Even at the cost of delaying Type 1 bomber aircraft, the Micubishi Yukogyo Kabushiki Kaisa factory produced thirty escort fighters from August to December 1940. Combat deployments turned out poorly, the G6M1s being overloaded with their barrel armament and fuselage lower fuselage missile tub, and after the G3M bombers dropped their bomb load, the escort fighters were still heavy and slow and not enough for their charges. Consequently, these aircraft are soon cancelled and used as either trainer G6M1-K or transport G6M1-L aircraft (weapons and gunnery are dismantled here). This version was eventually the first on the production line, before the bomber version.
