Now obsolete, the G3M Nell is severely outclassed by pretty much every other level bomber in the game, but nevertheless it can be vital on missions where the Betty is unavailable. Equipped with just three AA guns, the Nell can be easily destroyed by AA fire or fighter units, so be aware of this when launching it. In addition, its small load bay is capable of carrying just twelve 250kg bombs. Although it can also function as a torpedo bomber, it is slow, not ~~maneuverable~~, and has poor ~~armor~~.

As is the case with pretty much every Japanese aircraft, the Nell suffers from poor ~~armor~~, meaning just a few good hits is enough to finish one off. Because of this, the aircraft is most effective when employed in numbers, and should avoid enemy AA ships en route. In addition, a fighter escort is advised to intercept any opposition. In terms of handling, it is even less agile than the Betty, being incredibly slow and sluggish, capable of just 148 mph.

'''Official Description:''' ''The first prototype for this twin-engined bomber flew in 1935, and it entered full production in 1936. Despite its age in comparison to other modern bombers it is considered an excellent aircraft, and is particularly notable for its long range. It was the first plane to conduct a transoceanic attack when it was used to bomb mainland China during the Sino-Japanese War. However, it carries very little defensive armament, and is vulnerable to attack by fighter aircraft.''
