In 1937 the brand new A5M fighter was just entering service... but the top brass of the Japanese Navy was already in search for the aircraft that was going to come after the A5M. They wanted a fighter, equipped with cannons, capable of reaching the speed of 500 kph at 4,000 metres… and with all the maneuverability of the previous model. In order to meet those goals, Mitsubishi engineers went out of their way to make their new plane as light as possible, using a top-secret aluminium alloy to build it — and giving up on armor, any armor in fact. The first pre-production aircraft took to the skies on the 1st of April, 1939. That was the start of the story of the A6M... also known as “Zero”.

Plz Gaijin, PLZ!! We need A6M5 Hei!!! We also need to renew the A6Ms' model as you did to the Spitfires (Mk.V). Btw, plz don't make A6M5 Hei an event vehicle...
Plz Gajin, consider the players and reduce your prices on everything, most of the player bases incomes have been effected world wide, and with the economies of countries failing, the exchange rates are killing us. Please help us to continue playing and also supporting your great game. And players please like so it raises this post so Gajin will take more notice of our needs during this COVID-19 times. Cheers.
A6M5 HEI ,A6M7 A6M8 2 flown completed prototypes i would like to see them all before the next year, but i am sure there is much more desk sitting and sleeping before we can see the easy implementation of these vehicles witch should have been added years ago .
Eagles of Mitsubishi: The Story of the Zero Fighter by Jiro Horikoshi , makes an excellent read for anyone interested
I see romainan flag on it! :)) Os made in Romania! :))
Romanian tech tree? What? Six different trucks with a few men armed with APG's? Good luck.
Romanian tech tree confirmed
Gaijin please add the A6M5 Hei, A6M7 and the A6M8 (added as a premium as only two prototypes got made)
I Tottaly agree!!!!!! i am afraid we will not see it hapen in the next 20 years as they have a habit of sleeping the Requests off even though they should have been added years ago , they will trough some more B6Ns and other things no one really wants at us
