Mitsubishi A6M Zero
The Mitsubishi A6M Zero was Japan's main fighter during World War II. Specifications from the Imperial Japanese Navy in 1937 led to the creation of this fighter. The Zero met and exceeded the specifications by far. This was enough to make it a very powerful plane in the beginning of the war, but when the Allies came out with the Hellcat and Corsair, the Zero was no match. Although the Zero was constantly modified for the better, a lack of experienced Japanese pilots led to its demise.
Zeros could out turn, climb and run the American F4F Wildcat. This fighter was lightweight compared to its American enemies, but the extra weight was taken away from things the Americans never thought to not include in their planes. It didn't have self-sealing feul tanks, armor for the pilot or anywhere else on the plane. That made the plane hard to hit, but if you could hit it, it was shot down. The difference between the Zero and its enemies made interesting matchup.
This plane blends well with the jungles of the Pacific Isles.
