Description
My version of the Mitsubishi A6M2 "Zero" or "Zeke".

It's an approximation, not a 1:1 replica.

This is the early, pure fighter version launched from airplane carriers.
It's armed with 2 machine guns in the wings and 2 automatic cannons in the engine cowling (the weapons were actually the other way around but the larger guns do not fit in the wings so I switched places). It also has a drop tank to improve range.

Alt controls to fly.
W/S: Variable throttle.
S: Ground brake (tap gently at speeds over 100kph).
A/D: Ground steering/Yaw.
Up/Down arrow: Pitch.
Left/Right arrow: Roll.
X/Disable steering: Landing gear.
Fire action 1/Num 1: Machine guns and cannons.
Fire action 2/ Num 2: Drop tank.
Fire action 8/Num 8: Arrestor hook.

A note on the colour!
The Zero was not painted white as it's often depicted in popular culture but in a corrosion protection colour that was more of a muted green-gray-beige. The colour brightened a bit with age but was never really white. I chose a rather aged shade since it looks nicer than the rather dull freshly painted colour, but feel free to change it as you please. :)

Feel free to edit in any way you want, but if you re-upload publically in any way please acknowledge the original creation and creator.

Have fun!

There are arrestor hooks on some of my other carrier based planes too for the same reasons.

On this plane, nothing reallly. On the real plane it was used to catch arresting wires to help stop the plane when landing on an aircraft carrier so I added it for accuracy and role-playing purposes. :)

Haha if you want to kamikaze with a big BOOM you should use my Ohka piloted flying suicide bomb found here ;)

I might see what I can do, but since I don't really play the beta I can't promise anything. Also since it's a beta things may change again for the next official release so then I'd have to make all the changes again. But I might take a look at it. No promises though. :)

well like i said when the beta came out all planes did this
most of the ones that were used frequently were updated
it would be fun if you update them and change the way you do so with the future ones so that you wont have to do all of it when the update commes out

I have a pretty new high spec computer which might help with the ridiculous speeds you get in the beta? They are a LOT harder to control for me too and they definitely work very differently. He seems to have changed the (flight) physics quite a lot in the beta so (my) planes sadly go quite bonkers.

but then why is it working for you?
tinath64 15 May, 2022 @ 2:47pm 
i figured out the problem .. i think.. so mabe its because of the speed
your planes go faster in beta wich make them go crazy
