Fictional history:
"After the immersive success of the initial JI-237, The scientests in the IJN developed the F-Class. The JI-237 F-Class was a medium bomber with a large operational distance, which was modified to become a strike fighter/attacker as well, in order for the plane to be more useful after the bomb run. Equipped with some 12.7mm MGs and a gigantic 75mm cannons, this attacker was known for flying low over his targets and "blasting them to tomorrow" with it's heavy armament and percise accuracy of it's armament. The JI-237-F saw limited use in WW2, due to it's late entry into the war. In the attacks the F-Class was used in, it scored an astonishing kill score of both ground targets and enemy planes, as they were usually being torn by the 4 20mm cannons the turrets used."

Hope everyone likes it, and again, all credit for the original plane goes to the creator of this epic machine, @Phim. I suggest you go to check his planes out, you won't be disappointed !
